[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's clear to me that one's life is usually a lot easier when you have money to throw around if various problems arise. So I make it a priority to save as much money as I can while trying my best to eliminate such problems.

I do derive pleasure from seeing my savings balance rise over time- more pleasure than I would typically get from spending the money on something, even some minor treat. This can be hard for a lot of people to understand. [/quote]

I agree!  I have a close girlfriend who makes a pretty good HHI with her husband, but they always opt to spend rather than save. I gave her an analogy to food - I have a much harder time passing up great food than I do spending money. She is more vain than I am and would rather be thin than eat what she wants. I'm the opposite. I told her that her being able to resist yummy food because she'd rather delay gratification and be lighter is just like me being able to resist spending money. I also get more pleasure from giving to charity than buyiing things, and she does not have a charitable giving practice. She thought that was interesting.[/quote]
