I was always led to believe that the best things in life are free… love… family… friends… laughter. Did you think that too? Perhaps after reading the below you will change your mind too! Enjoy!
You are right, but it can certainly make it more attainable! SO long as people don’t confuse money for happiness as that is not an automatic right!!! 🙂

Too funny! And also pretty true! But sunsets ARE free where I live 😉
£72 for a first date? lol. I don’t think I’ve ever spent that much on any dates #cheap. I guess having money does make life easier in every situation 🙂
Same. My wedding will most likely cost less than $10K too. The average wedding in Canada in 2013 so far has been $32K however 😕 Wonder what couples are doing these days. Booking an entire cruise liner to themselves? lol.
It really is quite ridiculous. I went to a wedding a few weeks back that cost over £80K – $130K US. London venues charge an absolute fortune… and to be totally honest – it wasn’t that great
$10,000 is about £6500 ish – and I think this is a very good target! You can get married in Thailand on a beach in a 5 star hotel for around that number 😉
That’s a really cool infographic — I kept laughing at the little guy!
I’m glad I found your blog and I’m looking forward to reading more.

Just found your blog! really cool…
I just wrote a post about how happiness plateaus after you reach a certain income level, and here you post a new theory about how it actually keeps growing … I am still sticking to the original theory, though. The new theory talks about when a country becomes wealthier.. well yes that means more education, less crime, etc, so everyone lives better even if individuals’ personal income is unchanged.
Great site, will keep visiting 🙂

Michelle says

The wedding one got me – if I ever get married, it will cost less than $10,000 (which is over 20,000 pounds!)

Hahaha! Hashtag cheap – I don’t think I have either. Maybe it is an average rather than a median!

The cost for raising a child is rather scary £222K! (Gulp!) Great post!
savvyscot says
Thanks 🙂 – rather scary right?! Kids can wait a little bit longer I think…
Debt Blag says
This is terrific 🙂
Although, I think we need to work on a follow-up — how to make the best things in life *closer to free* 🙂
Debt and the Gril says
This was very cute. I guess there is no such thing as a free lunch 🙂
savvyscot says
Guess not… unless you want to be a serial dater?!
Thomas | Your Daily Finance says
Haha im not sure what is the best the infographic of the fact that you replied first to it! LOL good one Scot!
savvyscot says
Hahaha Thanks Thomas – Think I lose all cool points for that
Holly@ClubThrifty says
Haha! Love it!. Family is not really free. My kids cost a small fortune! They are totally worth it though.
savvyscot says
Our puppy is costing a fortune, so can only imagine how much kids are costing you 😉 good job you run a successful blog now 😉
