[quote=Anonymous]^^ For example, we just moved into a larger house with a pool, which honestly is my dream home. I'm feeling anxiety over the $140/month for pool care, which is completely unfounded. We easily have $3000+/month left over. But I've gotten into such a protestant work ethic "save at all costs" mindset, that even reasonable purchases feel challenging for me if I see them as indulgences instead of necessities. I haven't rehired a cleaning lady since we moved and probably won't, because in my mind, doing my own cleaning offsets the pool service and increase in lawn service costs. Given my career and the cash we have left every month, it's ridiculous -- but it's a mindset that's hard to break. [/quote]
