Reply to comment by manwnomelanin in When does saving become unhealthy? by Narrow-Imagination96

I don't imply anything.

Additional savings never hurts, and it's always better to save than to spend frivolously. That's it.

Whether you meant to or not, you did

Ultimately I agree if that’s the point you’re trying to make. Although I still think it’s poor advice in this context

Edit: I guess I don’t agree given my second sentence.

It may be better on paper, but that fails to consider emotional components which are important. You say it never hurts, but it is clearly hurting OP

We disagree on a philosophical level. I don’t think its healthy or worthwhile to avoid consumption like the plague. You should enjoy life a little.

To each their own

For what it's worth I didn't read that much into the comment. You both assumed too much of each other.

I wasn't aware I was talking to the sole arbiter of what someone meant by a statement, regardless of what the person making the statement actually said or meant.

You can continue this conversation with yourself as long as you like since you keep putting words in my mouth and completely ignoring what I (and the OP) actually said.

You are right - this is much like talking to a wall
