[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents (and I + DH, to be honest) are like that. I find peace in having money, I don’t enjoy spending money on many things and I like the feeling of being thrifty. DH’s parents spend every cent as they get it and live way beyond their means. No idea how they sleep at night or what they plan to do in their 80s and 90s, should they live that long. But to each their own. Neither way is exactly right or wrong. [/quote] Well there can be a happy medium. But what is the purpose of having some money if you are never able to enjoy it? So sure, don't live above your means. But once you have enough saved for a good retirement (and to pay for 2-3 years of advanced LTC), why wouldn't you enjoy it some? [/quote]
