Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I'm 68 and in the "saved too much but I'm happy about that" camp. Like you, I didn't live a life of deprivation, but I chose my priorities carefully. Nice houses, but less than the bank would let me borrow, and no major redecorating or upgrades unless I could cash-flow them. Modest cars, driven till they were no longer reliable. International travel because DH and I loved that. Mowed our own lawn and cleaned our own house.
More money is better than less money.
+1!! Word for word the same as us, except early 60's. Don't save so much that you deprive yourself of some comfort and fun. That being said, I also agree that more $ is better than less $. We are over-funded and are enjoying the ability to spend on practically anything that is reasonable.
