If you’re debt-free and saving for the future, it’s okay to splurge occasionally or upgrade your life. I think the best tactic for this is not an iron-clad “I will not spend money ever.” philosophy, but rather committing to living on a certain percentage of your salary and then keeping that percentage consistent (or reducing it, in the case of large raises) as your income grows–you can slowly build a higher quality of life while not getting in over your head financially.
