All the time.How often do you think about money? Is money a stressful part of life?
Yeah but does money, or a lack thereof cause stress in your life?Every time I need to pay for something, I think about money. Kinda hard not to.![]()
Are you struggling financially, or just want more than what you already have?All the time.
My life dynamic has hit this point.Not as much as I used to. I used to be very poor, now I am doing okay. Its nice to be able to spend $10 or $20 on something frivolous without worrying about it affecting me negatively.
Good. This is the proper way of thinking. My father always wanted to live above his means, but his idea of financial responsibility was for him to spend all the money on himself while my mother pays for it and for everything else. Idiot.Now that I am comfortable, I still find it difficult not to live like a college student.
In a sense, this is a good thing, I guess. Better than living above my means.

I started out my childhood doing alright -- we weren't rich, but we weren't poor.
We never went without food and we occasionally received goodies.
Then there was my time at a university.
I haven't ever been poorer than that. I learned a lot of interesting habits...

That being said, I also embrace the idea of knowing I could die tomorrow, so I try to purchase things I like whenever I want.

I tend to agree.Well I suppose you had to suffer a little bit to get to where you are today, which is a good thing. Builds character.
Being frugal is a good quality to have but some people can take it overboard.
