[quote=Anonymous]Here's a story: My dad lived frugally his whole life. Saved like crazy. But he also went on vacations to Europe when he wanted. Ate out when he wanted. Kept the same modest house and paid off the mortgage early. He died suddenly at 73. He never retired and got to spend the money. I don't know for sure, but I think he would still have been happy that he lived how he did. He didn't have to be anxious about the future. He has now provided for my mother for what will hopefully be a long life. His grandchildren will go to college because of his savings. I hope I live longer but he is a model for me in many ways. I don't want to work to 73, but he did. In a job he loved. Careful spending and saving is key. Not knee-jerk in either direction.[/quote]
