Just messin' with ya. Like I said, everyone has to decide for themselves what their security-to-livingforthemoment ratio is. For me, living and enjoying life wasn't synonymous with spending a lot of money, so I didn't spend a lot of money, that's all. As long as no one is counting on you for financial support and security, and you are not a burden on others and remain self-sufficient, then I see no issue with living your financial life any way you wish. The problems arise when you haven't saved enough dough to be self-sufficient when some unforeseen minor (or major) financial need or calamity arises. Having a family changes the equation appreciably and immediately... and pays you unquantifiable dividends in the "Live worth living" column.
