If you've got your financial bases covered, then how much you spend after that is totally up to you, and you should never feel bad about saving more than you think you'll need.

Living modestly is more virtuous and admirable than living extravagantly, IMO

This is so true. One thing I've always hated is going to someone's house and they take you through it talking about how much this rug cost or how expensive that chandelier was -- it's just dumb, transparent extravagance.

My wife and I prefer to go to people's houses and them say "oh you like that lamp? I got that lamp for $5 at HomeGoods!"
