[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Within reason because obviously you aren’t going to change your entire personality. How to do this?

We are mid 40’s, fully saved for college and doing well on savings; mortgage done in a few years. HHI has increased dramatically in the past few years (400k to 800k+) and expenses have remained low. No plans to change housing expenses but maybe could use some home upgrades and maintenance. Cars good.

How to make the mental shift?

Anyone?[/quote]

The issue here is that you think that not spending money is a good thing, so you feel proud of yourself for not doing it. If you saw it as a bad thing, you would not do it.

It seems to me that you have more than enough money to cover your expenses. So simply hoarding the money the way you are doing is actually a horrible thing. You should be giving the money to people who really need it, but instead you are being disgustingly selfish and setting a terrible example for your kids. Show them what it means to be fortunate, grateful for that fortune, and charitable to those who need it.[/quote]
