The closest I'll get to that for a while is when my car payments finish, in about 18 months. I should have 2 complete months of my gross salary saved and liquid by then, so I can justify putting an extra $200/mo to investing, and use the remaining $100/mo for spending, to account for cost inflation and such. Naturally, that first month of no-payment will be used for wasteful celebration.

I still have some student loans, but am quickly approaching/may have already reached Zero Net Worth(hooray!) when everything is totaled up. Buying a house would be a smart move, but I'd rather hold off on that to let the market cool down, and try to find a partner who would share it with me.
