As a Mustachian myself, I was ashamed and a little depressed after recently falling off the wagon in the frugality department. After years of sensible spending, I went on a bit of binge recently. New car, new king size mattress, new barbecue, new iPad, upgraded home alarm system, and vacations.
I feel like a schmuck. It's like a financial hangover. I don't know what got into me. It's like I'm overcome with guilt, shame, and remorse.
The good part is, no debt, and still lots of spare cash to live a stress free lifestyle, knowing I can just pull the plug on work at any time.
I still can't figure out what got into me though.
Maybe a misguided short term feeling of deprivation.
That, and too lazy to change out the grills, burners, and heat deflectors on the bbq.
