It doesn’t have to be something big and expensive. Although, those things are nice to look forward to. They can be small things. But you need something in the not-so-distant future to look forward to.
A weekend trip or even a day trip. A vacation. A purchase of something you’ve always wanted and been saving for. Eating something new or at some place new. Making or creating something new.
All of this is part of living life. Working for 40+ years (probably doing something you don’t enjoy) to “live” out the next…5 or 10 years…that’s not it. I’m not encouraging anybody to be reckless with their money or responsibilities. But create things for yourself to look forward to. Not just retirement.
