[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems unhealthy, but it's not really abnormal for a lot of people to have a difficult time transitioning to drawing down their investments. Lots of people become millionaires by being thrifty, and once you refuse to waste any money whatsoever, it just becomes a part of who you are. This is an extreme case though lol[/quote] This can be related to childhood experiences. It is hard to imagine the hardship that many of our older population (esp immigrants) have gone through, and they are afraid of losing everything. It’s not necessarily a bad thing.[/quote] If you think of it (for US born people) in terms of being born to people who lived through the great depression it's a bit more understandable. That said, I think that even if you stay thrifty that shouldn't mean you still worry about money. It seems to me that having stayed frugal should lead to lessened anxiety, but that said, it doesn't for a lot of people.[/quote]
