<prompt> Human: If you could share you dont have to, only if youre free or anything perhaps commuting or lying in a ward. As someone having trouble knowing when enough savingsinvesting is enough in terms of resuming a somewhat less insane level of budgeting. Was it 20k positive net worth? 100k? When youre passive income was a quarter your income?  <response>: Its not like its this big ethical goodbad thing. Its a question of priorities and what other financial demands are on you, and we were careful to budget at least a tiny amount of cash to fun things even at our most penny-pinching. You really should do that, to keep you from being like a binge-and-purge dieter. Taking care of your money is a long-term thing, so do something you think will be sustainable. The other thing Id say is that you should first identify things that you think are worthwhile and want to do, then figure out how to budget for them, rather than starting with a maximum cost and finding out how to spend it. So if you wanted to take up backpacking, youd first identify that desire then figure out how much you could afford to budget for it.
