[quote=Anonymous]We make quite a bit more than that, but both of us are very frugal. I've stressed about the metaphorical guac in all my choices for my whole life. Only the past few years I've been actively trying to shake that emotional baggage and focus on the joy I'm getting instead of the cost of each choice.

We both love tea parties and have been to a bunch of fancy ones and loved it. We recently did one that was over $1k. We got all dressed up, had a lovely time with our kids, and also got an amazing family photo. Yeah that's a lot of money, but having another thousand dollars won't matter much after a certain threshold of savings and income. The memories and the photos do though.

Lots of experiences also have a window of time in your life when they're fun. Spend money to create happiness now, don't wait until you're too old or the circumstances have changed and it's not fun anymore.

Since you're starting from the already frugal position I would say make a yearly budget for how much you're willing to spend on experiences. Then double that amount. Then go live your life and have fun! [/quote]
