<prompt> Human: Kind of a follow up to a post that was on the front page here a few days ago encouraging people to not just live in a cave and hoard money but to actually enjoy life. What is an appropriate amount to spend on this?Obviously if youre buried in credit card debt PF is going to recommend you pay that off so for our situation, lets assume thats all gone. Lets also assume that we are saving for retirement appropriately 10-15 and that we have an appropriate emergency fund. For our hypothetical, lets say our house paymentrent is only 25-30 of our take home so its not absurd either. We have relative financial stability in our hypothetical. What is an appropriate percentage to spend on lifestyle?  <response>: There is no one set answer to this. I assume when you say we you mean you and your wifehusbandSO. The percentage is totally up to you and what you want to budget. If you have dreams and goals, start budgeting to fulfill them
