[quote=Anonymous]Like 18:04 I had relatives who gave us cash, and in some cases I just cashed the checks setting it aside not wanting to comingle it with my savings. People wanted me to spend on turnings I wouldn't otherwise buy myself or my kids. It became a habit. My husband and I are pretty good savers, but he sees all money as fungible. Meaning: if I put it into savings and we needed to replace an appliance, the money would be used for that. I don't like it, because I do earmark money, and won't "splurge" on any thing unless it it over the earmarked value. Our HHI is mid 100k. We have retirement savings and emergency fund account. Our financial advisor said we could afford to spend a little more, but I'm paranoid about not having money if "something bad" happened. Ugh. Reading this thread I'm feeling like I might look like a criminal for hoarding this money that trickled in over 20 years. I want to cry. I'm so pathetic. [/quote]
