I'm a 30 year old single male. In my early 20s I graduated college with a bachelor's degree in business. I had tremendous student debt and credit card debt and was having issues making ends meet with my entry level salary. I adopted many rules that are advocated on this board, after only a few years I finally paid off my credit cards and student loans in full.
I think my good habits in regard to money have turned into unhealthy obsessions. I am always thinking in terms of money now - I always want to work overtime as much as possible to make as much money to put into my Roth IRA or into my 401k. When I'm not at at my actual desk job, I have smaller side hustles (think like Lyft) that I do when I have the energy. I have personal net worth calculator that I used to update every few months, then it became monthly, then every single paycheck. I used to have many hobbies, like working out or playing guitar, but now I cannot motivate myself to do them because that's time wasted by not making money.
I am wondering if anyone has any advice to help me bring more balance into my life? I feel I am focusing too much on money and missing out on living.
