4 Things Politicians Will Never Understand About Poor People

This, I save way more than i spend on a regular basis, and I'm far from a good economic situation. I TRIED to do the straight save without even buying an occasional ordered pizza.

I saved more than usual. However. After about 6 months of only spending my money to pack away for my school and investment efforts... I started to get depressed. I knew I was doing good, but without something to take my mind off things that weren't work and concerns for the future, it was taking its toll on me. I need sometime to be alive and not a drone.

"No one on their deathbed wishes that spent more time working." (or saving for that matter) Wherever that quote came from.

Agreed. You have to make room for fun, but it needs to be fun within your means. If you're not saving money, or rather not saving a sufficient amount of money to actually improve your financial standing, because of how much you're spending on fun - you're being irresponsible.
