Just like when we are parenting our kids - we have to at some point believe that we have taught them the appropriate skills and give them a chance to spread their wings. I know when I was younger, the boys were small, and money was tight - trying to control everything was exhausting. Sometimes necessary... but, exhausting. Maybe start to give yourself a little pat on the back that you have mastered your new p.f. skills - if you start to feel out of control, then pull back. You hit the nail on the head, as far as I've learned - it's all about balance. Life is really short & a lot more fulfilling if your not hanging out in the extreme ends of the spectrum. Think confidence - not compromise! Do you think maybe you need to think of it more as confidence in your newfound personal finance skills - rather than compromise?
