I think you just remade the "you need to have balance" statement into something edgier and more fun. I love that statement too!

Will have to report back!

But I sort of make the "Pascal's Wager" of finance. I may die at 30 (I sure hope not, I don't want to die next year) - but I could live to be 80. Either way I want my life to be awesome the entire time. So I try to moderate myself for now vs then in an equal way so that I don't blow my wad on the off chance I die tomorrow or save up non-stop and not enjoy today and then die young. There is a very happy medium, in my mind, and that is what I strive for. I have a similar philosophy as Red's boyfriend. But I sort of make the "Pascal's Wager" of finance.
