Balance between living in the now and investing for future?

I'm curious to how you all balance living in the now versus investing for the future. We currently own two investment properties and are debt free (minus our personal home). We currently save over 50% of our income. Obviously these answers will vary based on everyones different goals...but just curious to what you guys are doing. Are you buying things for enjoyment or just grinding/saving/investing? We are really wanting to purchase a "toy" like a boat to enjoy with the family and let the cash flow from the two properties pay for it.
