Assessing Lifestyle Creep

Conducting a lifestyle creep assessment is essential for managing finances effectively. This involves evaluating how personal spending may have increased over time, particularly during significant life changes such as marriage or having children. Individuals should review their income growth over the past five years and compare it to their spending, identifying any discrepancies that suggest lifestyle inflation. This analysis can help individuals avoid falling into a paycheck-to-paycheck cycle while still enjoying the benefits that come with increased income.
