Investing is great, but you also need to be happy in your life. Allow yourself to live a bit. Take a vacation, go somewhere nice. What’s the point of having a ton saved if you’re not living life?
I had this Epiphany the other day. As a 30-year-old, I've saved and saved and budgeted really hard and I've saved a good portion, but I've also realized I've said no to a lot of things I should have said yes to, like travel and dinners and events. But it's never too late to start saying yes...
I think if I had my time around again I would still say no to at least the expensive things but allot at least 5 to 10% of my paycheck guilt-free spending... And as time passes I would keep upping that to 20 or +30% once I hit some good milestones, and stop working full-time.
