[quote=Anonymous]Op i grew up middle class. I was raised by a single mother who was make $10/hr working 80-90 hours week( 2 jobs) and raising 4 kids and taking care of other family members. When it comes to others and their spending habits, I say your money your rules. I personally don't care what others do with their money. Personally, I work hard and play hard. So everyone so often I treat my self to something nice and expensive because I deserve it. My mother is very frugal and that had the opposite effect on me. She is now in her 60's and didn't spend time having fun. She didn't take a vacation in 40 years! She is a workaholic. I'm the one trying to introduce her to more fun stuff.  After I save for retirement, emergency fund, beer fund,  pay all my monthly obligations, whatever is left is fun money.  I will take my vacations, I'm an excellent advance planner and very proactive so it doesn't cost me so much to enjoy luxury. If I were to drop dead tomorrow, I have no regrets, I had fun with my money while living my life. Op, worry about you living a fulfilling live and don't spend time thinking of how others spend their money. Big spenders are not think of you either. [/quote]
