> Frugality inertia: a lifetime of good savings habits can’t be transitioned to a spending phase.
Coming from a poor family and knowing the hard way the issues of not having money I've been obsessed with saving money since I got my first paycheck 8 years ago and I always thought "at the point I would earn current salary + x I will start enjoying life more and stop worrying about money" but that never happened.
8 years have passed and I still have the same thoughts despite earning 15 times more and having no financial problems, my mind just makes it very difficult whenever I have to spend money on something.
