[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think it's good to have your problems. Many newly affluent people have the opposite issues: they get on a never-ending spending spree and end up living above their means. You have to give permission to yourself to enjoy life a bit more. And also to recognize the value of convenience, for example in terms of hiring a housekeeper. (My husband and I recently had a similar issue: he booked a $70/night hotel two hours from where he needed to be because he did not want to spend $100 per night. To me, the gas + the fatigue from 4 hours of driving per day are clearly more "expensive" than the $30 difference.) Regarding your children, you can raise them to value what they have for example by telling them stories of your childhood circumstances. [/quote]
