Saving Too Much Money

I am a saver through and through! I think was born that way. I have at times save 98-99% of my income.

I did that for years on end. And now, while I don't regret saving, I so regret some of the experiences that I may have missed out on by saving so much. Saving comes naturally to me..spending doesn't. I am the type of person that I literally have to tell myself that it is ok to spend...I have to give myself permission to spend.

Money isn't the end goal - money is a tool. You should use that tool to help you live the life you desire,

It took me too long to learn that I don't have to save absolutely everything.

Part of me saved so much because I was afraid. I was afraid that a paycheck can disappear at any moment. I saw it happen to people I loved...I had it happen to me. That largely colored my outlook on things. I was saving for the unknown.

But when are you being proactive and providing yourself with a better future....and when have you gone too far. That's something many savers have to learn....I know I did.

Let me know in the comments, are you a natural saver or a natural spender?
