During my 20s. It was easy for me to save 8 months for something I really wanted because I felt that I have all the time in the world. I would save %70 of my net income easily and invest, etc.
Now in my early 30s,,,I probably save like %10 if I'm lucky.
I feel my mortality more than ever. Seeing my beard get more gray everyday and waking up with random pains.
The thought of saving 8 months for something is unfathomable at this stage of my life. I see something I want and I just get it...even if I have to dip into my investments.
I'm not in debt or anything. But budgeting and investing seems exponentially harder now in my 30s.
I have an unconscious fear of waking up in my mid-40s and all I did was save and work with nothing to show for it.
On the other hand I feel like I'm doing a disservice to My Future self by not investing as much as possible. So I'm kind of stuck in a rut when it comes to planning my financial future.
Am I the only one that feels this way?
