Oh absolutely. But the motto to pay yourself first should always ring true. I shouldn't put my retirement savings on hold so I can purchase a new car, like many people do. I should cut expenses somewhere else or find ways to generate extra income to pay for that car. I find my wife and I do a fairly good job balancing investing, saving and being frugal while still doing and having nice things. It took us about 4 years to get to this point, where we both feel we have a good balance of both.
