And here i am leaving a higher paying job than ts and venturing into a totally unknown territory for me.
Live life once.

I think hor, when u started with your wife you are at one end of extreme no savings at all. Then u suddenly change flavour to another extreme end, of course wife will jump la.
From hot water suddenly kena pour cold water who no jump?

Also,
2k savings a month with current 8k salary. U took 3 year (36months x 2k = 72k) to save till 100k? Math no check out.
