My wife and I budget and save over 50% of our salaries. Sometimes our friends think we're crazy because we "limit our options" by being frugal. I always have to explain back that it's exactly why we're saving money because it gives us new options that aren't available otherwise like buying a home last summer. That only happened through budgeting and saving.
