[quote=Anonymous]I dunno.  In my 20s I lived in NYC relatively cheaply with friends who were mainly artists so similarly broke and we had a blast and a ton of great memories and did a lot of creative things without feeling the need to go to "great" restaurants.  I didn't save a ton, but I did throw some money into Roth IRAs and didn't accumulate debt.  I also got to live a few years in different countries over the course of my 20s--again not saving a ton, but always throwing money into the Roth.  I settled down in my 30s and it was then I started to appreciate a good restaurant with friends--and had the money to easily do so.  This made me feel like there were new discoveries that kind of mature with my tastes and my finances. Now that I have kids, I find I more value in spending money on experiences with them.  But each decade has had its own pleasures that fit my budget, my stage of life and my interests.  I feel like if I forced it all to happen early I wouldn't enjoy the way it has evolved.[/quote]
