Went semi-Galt years ago.
Expected to be full-Galt by now, but familial duties have interfered.
No debt since 1991.
Spending LOTS of money, but pretty much only for setting up my little ‘gulch’ as a self sufficient refuge, horribly expensive medication to maintain an invalid parent’s comfort, food and utilities.

I hear you! There are just some things that come up and money must be spent — i.e., buy new curtains? Nah — wash the old ones - again — but my dog has a health condition requiring expensive food and pills and since I ‘rescued’ her I feel an obligation — I consider her an addition to overall home security so that helps, but yes, there are some things that crop up that we must spend on. I would not go out and get three more pets, though.
I could easily spend a small fortune renovating my house inside and out but I just won’t do it. Maybe I’ll get a few poinsettia plants for the porch at Christmas and be done with it.
