Balancing Spending and Saving

In this business we all know cash is king. I have recently noticed that my goals to build wealth have been impacting my quality of life more and more. We have been putting every penny away and avoiding all the things that make living nice to build that nest egg as fast as possible. I've recently come to the realization that left to my own devices I might not ever stop and could miss the opportunity to enjoy the wealth I'm creating.

I think this is probably an issue most business people run into eventually. How much of your business earnings do you reinvest into growing your business versus using for personal enjoyment? How do all of you manage to keep the balance in your personal spending and goals for the future?
