none2.0, I’m very into saving money and living with less, but with everything in life, there is something called balance, and many times there are decisions to be made.
Ex- should I live in a more expensive area for my yiddishkeit (frummer neighbors, better shuls etc.)?
Should I work longer hours and take more cleaning help?
If I cancel the cleaning help will I be a stressed mother vs a calmer mother with some cleaning help?
Yes, money is a tool- but sometimes people are so frugal that they can’t live calm, happy lives.
And what works for 1 person, doesn’t work for others.
My belief: spend on YOUR needs, not for others, and not for what’s considered normal.
And live with a budget.
