I want to be out of debt but what happens when I am? Did you ever want something so bad and when you got it you sort of had a let down afterwards?
When and where do you draw the line between saving and miserliness? When do you spend to enjoy if at all?
Am I missing life now because of this saving thing? Maybe I'm doing the right/wrong thing with my money?
Where do I want to go and where do I want to be with my finances and how do I get there? I guess these are questions we all ask ourselves. Just musing!
Where do you want to be?

I think we have to constantly take the pulse of the family to determine when enough is enough. BALANCE is key...figuring out the balance point is the tough job.
I try really hard to budget in vacation and miscellaneous money for those memory making moments as well as those fun impulsive splurges...but I also budget for new tires, insurance, medical bills...I just try to make sure I balance it all out to allow for pleasure as well as necessity.

To avoid that let down feeling why not factor in some savings while you're paying down the debt? Even something small would be a huge psychological boost. Say, $5/week?

You are right in saying I should not get myself sick over all this. I am going to take that advice.
