[quote=Anonymous]OP, what are you hoarding your money for?  Like, to what end? It's fine if you don't want to own a four bedroom house or join a country club or buy a Mercedes. But you don't travel at all, try new restaurants, go to museums, take random classes at a local Y like wine-tasting or cooking or foreign language, take guided tours, take sailing or kayaking lessons, etc.

You said you'll donate your money to nieces and nephews, but it's okay to spend on yourself too.

I am concerned you don't really have anything you can talk with people about. Most people working in a law firm don't play video games. They may complain about their KIDS playing them too much.

You patch your clothes to the point it sounds like if someone else wore those clothes and ran into a BigLaw Partner at say, the grocery store, they'd be embarrassed. Maybe you don't possess that embarrassment gene, but that's the kind of thing that when the partners are about to vote on whether to make you partner, they'd say you're not a culture fit. You're not giving anything out that people can connect with you on. [/quote]
