[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would you do with the extra $600 per month?

I don't understand people that want so many things.  What do you do with them? Why do you want them so badly?[/quote]

Maybe it's not for things but experiences?

I get what OP is saying.  I am not a crazy saver, but I save enough.  Sometimes, when I see the amount people on this board have saved with an income similar to mine, I am envious.  I think - why didn't you forgo X, Y and Z and save that money.  And what I am about to say is somewhat cheesy, but my younger sister died very suddenly in her 20s.  And I think a lot about all the things she never got to do.  So I will never assume that if I just save everything possible now, I can retire earlier and fulfill all my dreams then.  I am also not assuming I need to do everything I want to do now and that I don't need to save for the future.   I try to balance it.  But I also feel like even balancing it is overdoing it a little.  I probably don't need to save as much as I do, but I think there is a pressure, if you make X, you should be saving Y, even if Y is more than you need. [/quote]
