<prompt> Human: As I get older 35M I get more and more concerned about my finances. I am doing good..., zero debt, 401k, IRA contributions, no credit cards, luxury items, etc... However, my wife pointed out something the other day that got me thinking about my relationship with money. I have a hard time enjoying buying things even if they are budgeted and Im getting the best deal possible. For example: we are DIYing the basement to get it ready for the holidays, which is a great thing that Ill enjoy and Im also saving my doing it myself... Im realizing that frugality is sometimes hindering my ability to enjoy things. Just wondering if any of you have the same dilemma and how you think about it.  <response>: Just let it go. Why bother making making money if youll never spend it?
