<prompt> Human: Hi Reddit !I wanted to ask that for a while because Im not sure if Im acting weird or if people just have a different point of view.Im 23 and I earn 3000month. I know its great and I take advantage of that by saving a lot each month.The problem is, some people say that I save too much and that I dont enjoy life the old hey, you could die tomorrow ! and its kind of bothering me.Even my girlfriend agrees that I sometimes have difficulties spending money, and that makes me think that maybe people are right ?Some examples :- a restaurant with my girlfriend rarely costs me more than 60-70, people say its cheap but I dont see why ? We still eat what we want - its very hard for me to travel, last year we went to Italy for 1 week and it cost me like 1k5 and I still find it really expensive even though the trip was great- I try to spend as little as possible for my lunch it makes me feel bad to spend 7-8 for lunch every day- for me, paying 600month for a rent is out of the question even if I currently have a 3h commute tofrom work everydaySo here am I, wondering if I maybe save too much ? Note that my balance is always positive at the end of the month.That was the first part of my question. Now, onto the next part : Do I really need to save that much money ?I mean, I could maybe change my mindset to travel more, or buy a new car since mine is kind of old, or even move closter to my workplace I think that would be great, the commute is tiring me but I just cant convince me that its worth it.In the end, I really dont know what Ill need in the future thats why I think I save as much as possible in case I need the money.Here, my question is : how can I know how much to save and what is a reasonnable amount to spend ?Thanks in advance, I hope I did not post in the wrong subrredit.Edit : I save 50 of my income so 1400month  <response>: Saving money by packing your lunch or not eating out is common. A lot of people do this and it is smart. I would say you have an issue if you commute 3 hours to save money. This is a quality of life issue. Things within your control that impact your physical and mental wellbeing are where you should spend money.
