I myself is guilty of this post specially before when I am still on my early savings days. I always believe in the idea of delayed gratification. Delaying things today for a greater future. But for now, since I already saved a lot and I can say with my current situation (still single, lots of savings and some investments), I just spend if I want and I do not deprive myself. You've got a nice blog here by the way. I hope you can also visit mine as I believe we are blogging on the same niche. :) <abbr><em>Millionaire Acts’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/millionaireacts1/~3/c6r2G1xb32c/power-of-positive-thinking.html" rel="nofollow">Power of Positive Thinking</a></abbr></em> You have a point here.

I've continually have had to practice this concept, reminding myself when I covet something someone else has done, such as the simple pleasure of a pedicure/manicure. I don't feel like I'm doing without by not having such a small luxury done, but I do envy the ease at which someone drops money down for such a thing. Then I remind myself that there are many people out there who wish they could be in my shoes by the simple pleasure of going to the grocery store and not worry about what they will have to do without in order bo buy groceries or just having health insurance. Sometimes it's really tough to keep things in perceptive while working toward a goal, but like you pointed out, look at the bottom line - how has this made my life better or easier? Hope you had a lovely time with your folks this weekend and by the way. . . .how did the meal go? Just curious. Take care and have a great day!
