[quote=Anonymous]I can sort of understand this. We’ve never made a ton (my salary maxed around 155k and dh around 215, in our 50s) and I only started saving/working around a 29 after long grad school
Period (PhD), we had kids, bought a house etc. but compounding plus mom’s death has changed our financial picture and we could retire todayand be pretty comfortable.

I actually want to take some money and use it for a couple things but I still feel weird about it. Like I’m still in the saving mode not spending mode. I have loosened up in the small things, getting a cappuccino, paying for regular and not basic economy, but I still went to second hand store today for clothes. I can justify a car for teen drivers, I can justify camps tutoring etc and I can justify 5-10k on supporting g organizations we believe in but I can’t really bring myself to remove money from investments

Also I don’t wish to change our lifestyle except maybe travel a little more luxuriously, I’ve always been a bargain hunter but now kids get their own room etc.  [/quote]
