While it’s good to know where your money is going, it pays to question your motives for saving as much as you do. Is it out of fear? And a sense of lack?

If you have saved enough for a rainy day (equivalent to 3 to 6 months' income) and are investing some towards your long-term goals (e.g. retirement), maybe look at how money can add to the quality of your life.

Are there things or experiences you are denying yourself out of this sense of lack? Fear of running out of money? Seek balance in your approach to money.
