No, my reasoning is to enjoy life by pursuing what I love and I don't want saving money to get in the way, even if it meant possibly cutting my funemployment short.
> Nice to be able to go on a little trip or eat out sometimes
100% agree! I'd caution against over indulging on consumption though, it can lead to a trap where you spend all your money and not gain much value. Instead of spending money on consumption, I try to optimize spending on money on things that increase my creative output value. I haven't eaten out in a while, in its place I've bought a nice pizza oven and I make pizzas for family and friends. They usually bring the finer things, so I don't spend much money when I'm hosting but I end up having an incredible amount of fun.
Also when I host we usually have alot of leftover food, which then goes into my compost pile and I get to build up more high quality dirt. Win win. I'm thinking of buying a duck next week for companionship and also to help around the garden.
> Most good stuff doesn't need to cost a lot though.
From my personal experience, most good stuff comes from investing in tools that increase your creative output. Those things are always worth the money
