Get married. Seriously your description of your lifestyle is very similar to how I used to live. I used to spend money on food and going out regularly. I did buy a few expensive items like DSLR camera, PS3, TV, laptop, etc. But it was well below my income. When I traveled, I went to visit my friends and crashed on their couches. I think all my expenses added up to less than a 1/3rd of my income. And it wasn't that I won't get excited about new products, I would read reviews, watch YouTube videos, visit stores for hands on experience but then in the end, I would decide it wasn't worth the hype. I did spend on experiences like sky diving, but mostly less intense experiences like kayaking, massages, etc. Still there were few and would not make significant dent in my savings. I just didn't know how to spend money nor I had desire to spend money. --- After getting married, we learned that we had very different view of money. She bought stuff without research. She was totally okay to throw stuff in the back of closet and never touch it again. I was naturally minimalist without realizing it. Every time I bought something, I not only considered how much it cost, but how space it takes, where it will go, etc. Initially it was tough but we worked through it and found a compromise. This taught me how to spend money without feeling like that I am wasting it. I am joking about getting married but here are a few things about spending money I have learned from my wife: * Go on a nice vacation and stay in a luxury hotel. There is a huge difference in quality of service. They make you feel like a king or queen and that feeling is worth having every once in a while. * Buy things at full retail price and then if you don't like them, donate instead of selling. Less stress and you feel good about giving. Applies to clothes too. * Go to your local museums, zoos, art shows.
