DW and I have been investing aggressively in Vanguard index funds for years. Current market returns aside, our invested assets have been seeing the monthly gains exceed our monthly contribution by 3-4x. We would love to keep investing aggressively, but part of me would love to take the monthly money to be invested and splurge on a nice vacation or even buy a new car (my current vehicle is fine with 240k miles on it, but it's lost the new car smell ). For those in FIRE, did you ever stop investing, even briefly, once your monthly or annual gains significantly exceeded your contributions? Am I experiencing investing/saving fatigue now that I see that our portfolio is doing some heavier lifting for us?
Any insight and advice would be greatly appreciated!
