<prompt> Human: This post is very difficult for me because I have been following personalfinance subreddit for quite a while now. It has helped me learn from my old habits of spending and how to be smart with money, not to mention pay off all credit card debt and build an emergency fund. These things are great, but somewhere in this process I have read so much information to the point I feel like I cant enjoy life because i fear i am going to make a bad financial decision. I currently have 26200 6.5 in student loans which i pay an extra 625 towards 1000 monthly. A mortgage on 15yr fix at good rate. Also driving same vehicle since high school 94 acura that has seen its better day but still drivable. i contribute 750-1000month to savings, depending on wife and I spending,usually wife. not to mention mint app and other finance apps constantly reminding me of my balances and what i have spent or could save. I feel like I am doing okay but somehow I still manage to feel an uneasiness when it comes to spending. I dont know where things went wrong. Every purchase seems like a serious decision when it shouldnt be. The wife on the other hand will purchase something in the drop of a hat and not think twice. Unless its of a considerable amount but isnt very often. Am I going crazy or has anyone else single or married have similar experiences? Sorry this is so long.  <response>: Eventually, the shininess and the novelty of being a super-saver will wear off, as your brain wanders to cooler and interesting things. Trust me, the first couple months I discovered this community and rfinancialindependence, i read absolutely everything I could on the topic. I couldnt go 3 hours without contributing to my excel budget spreadsheet.But now Im lucky to check my budget once a month. Eventually, you will calm down. Just do the basics, do all the right things, make all the right big decisions. The rest will follow.
