"Trying to be subtle about this, but the "pool of available women" is um, the wrong swimming hole for me "
LOL!
I guess you have to ask yourself what you priorities are. If you give yourself more fun money, you may add 1 year to your wait. Is that worth it? Finding a balance is always hard. It is my belief that experiences are the things that are worth spending your money on, so if it were me, I'd probably add a cruise in or a trip in every year and push back my home purchase date. Either that, or every raise or bonus you get - consider that your new fun money and don't increase your savings rate. It's a shame to work hard, make good money, and not have a *little* fun spending some of it.
I agree with what is said previously - don't think of it ask making X and only getting to keep Y. You have to optimize your Y money to make yourself as happy as possible.
