I (32f) just got a raise after seriously applying myself at work for the last year. This raise pushed me to now I'm living on less than half of my gross income!! Instead of lifestyle creep, I'm going to add the extra to debt repayment then saving for a house. I love being frugal and I choose the areas I am vs. where I want to spend more money but still keep things balanced and inexpensive.
