totally agree. Money can be a priority, or not. Often, money dictates what kind of life choices we make. Swing to the extremes of making money or enjoying yourself too much without a care on your expenses, over time, we'll find ourselves extremely unhappy. I always feel that it's important to have a fix monetary goal, something like a "F U" fund. Once you reach that all important number with all your financial plan in place, then you should go reward yourself with the stuff you always wanted to do.

We only have one shot in this life. It's definitely not worth it regretting over the bad life decision we've made.
