I hate people that think they've got it figured out.

I'd like to add this to the preface: I don't want to judge anyone for living their life however they see fit, and I truly believe that if you can afford it and want to do it, go live life.<br><br>I guess what I'm talking about here is I think some people actually believe they've reached a point in their life where they've cracked the code, and they're living life with the best possible outcome with the least amount of input. At this point in my life, I realize that life is a marathon, and not a sprint. And I see people sprinting to the 30 yard mark and calling it a day. I feel like frugal living is just a great stepping stone for life to explore what you need and what you want, and prioritize accordingly, but I know people who are frugal because they feel like it's the right thing to do, so they put all their eggs into that basket. I've had people explain to me that once I find my purpose I won't need to spend money anymore, and it sounds like a healthy way of looking at it, but I also feel personally attacked by it. I don't think frugality is the magic bullet for life and I see people entering frugality because they feel like they've found the solution for life. And I feel like what they've actually found is a solution for one of the problems that arrives in the 100s that life will throw at them and they're terrified to think about the other problems that they're going to have to face in life.<br><br>I just don't think frugal living is the answer for everyone or that it's the way to live a perfect life, and I don't feel like it should be. I think it's going to have to be 100% tailored for every individual, and I don't think there is one magic bullet. It's just frustrating to me that I see people look at frugality as the solution to everything, and I genuinely feel like it's going to end up leaving people feeling empty inside.
