<prompt> Human: Hello!Im a young professional making good money and saving well. However, I find myself obsessing over finances. I check Mint multiple times a day though once a week would be sufficient and check repeatedly through each month to see if I have any extra money to move to my brokerage account though once per pay period should be enough. I find myself making many minor financial adjustments just switched my savings account to Ally and moved some of my too-large emergency fund to my brokerage account. I am also spending a lot of time reading finance and financial independence blogs, playing with retirement calculators, and browsing this subreddit.All of this and I only just started my first post-grad school job about seven months ago. Even early retirement is at least 15-20 years away, but I cant stop myself from obsessively researching and monitoring. Any advice on how to take a step back and just let my recently-established system work and grow?And yes, I do see the irony in asking that question here.  <response>: If you are dealing with anxiety or other emotional psychological concerns, there are professionals that can help with that. For the other stuff, come up with a set of goals and plans. Then just compare your progress against your goal. If your goal is Make as much money as possible and save as much as possible that really isnt a healthly goal or realistic mindset. There will never be ENOUGH if that is your goal. You start chasing dollars just to make your bank account bigger. Money is just a transfer mechanism, on its own it has no intrinsic value. Only when we use it to do things does it turn into something valuable. So you gotta stop thinking just the raw numbers, and try to turn the money into things you want to do in your life. Otherwise you may find yourself with 250k in the bank, yet living in a place you dont love, never doing anything because you cant bear to spend any of your money on even reasonable things.
