<prompt> Human: Hi All,I was hoping for some feedback on how to deal with stress related to the future. My wife and I are big savers, and weve always saved 40-4537; gross income, and recently, weve just had a ton of expenses come up that have required we drop this to 3337;. Rationally, I know were fine. But it still feels like a step back for us. Do any of the more savings-oriented folks out there have any wisdom on how to let go a bit? Were 2627, earn 110K, are debt free, and have about 190-195K saved for retirement. Wed like to retire early, maybe around 50-55.Thanks in advance.  <response>: You are doing great and being too hard on yourselves. Something I heard once is Some people are so poor all they have is money. Saving 30 of your salary is amazing. Saving 40 is awe inspiring. I can imagine you are responsible and hard working people. In the future your salary will grow. Even if you can only save 30 be sensible with raises and avoid lifestyle creep. You have a great head start here. Make sure to take some vacations and make some memories. I predict you will be multi millionaires.
