<prompt> Human: Backstory:I net approximately 580 after taxes every weekCurrently I have 4K in savingsIm 23 years old, still currently living with my parentsI pay them approximately 600month in which 300 goes to college loan My mother paid off my college loan under my name to stop the interest from incurring so I owe her approx. 20Kand the other 300 goes out to help out the family.I have such a great family, my mother and dad pay for everything otherwise, including filling up the car gas, buying food, paying for whatever car, health, dental insurance, etc.However I believe Im being too cheap? I try to save 90spend 10 or save 80, spend 20 and at most save 75 spend 25 MAXI would complain about buying gifts sometimes Spending 30 for a gift from Yankee Candle? No thank you I complain going out to eat when my girlfriend asks Why not eat at home? or going to movies why not just torrent? I see all my other friends leasing cars, renting apartments, buying pets, shopping and basically big ticket items and spending almost every other paycheck living their life while Im still at home saving money and living too cheap sometimes. What would you do in my current situation?  <response>: Just to chime in with a different perspective: Do you want to keep your girlfriend? Do you like her and want her to feel like you appreciate her? Cause being unwilling to go out to a movie is cheap, for sure. Or dinner every now and then. It sounds like youve got yourself set up to save and thats fantastic, but do live a little. This girl is dating you and youre a super thrifty introvert who lives at your parents house. Im just sayin. Take care of the girl a little bit :
