Uneccessary frugality?

[Andrey Y.]

Something that I have been pondering. For those of you who had/have a solid paying job and ability use your hard earned money to have some fun (travel, going out to nice places, piloting, presents for kids/spouse, etc.) whatever your vices are, did you: Find yourself cutting back on the pleasures of life that cost money, after getting into RE? As a very early RE investor myself, I can see one falling into the trap to cut back spending in their personal life in order to save cash for capital for future RE projects and the like. Have you experienced this, one way or the other?
