You can't let your pursuit of wealth interfere with you being a cool person, and enjoying life. You can't let it ruin your life, in essence...

If you don't leave your house, and save every penny -- before long, you are going to be known as a shut in, and recluse -- who has no social skills! You're going to miss out on the best years of your life, and you'll end up looking back at pictures of yourself going, "Wow -- I really should have lived life and enjoyed it before I was bald, fat, and OLD!"

If you devote your life solely to wealth creation, and live for nothing else... When you go to a club, and a gorgeous woman sits down next to you... You will be too cheap to offer to buy her a drink, or take her to dinner -- and maybe too socially inept to be able to communicate with her on her level. You're going to regret it for the rest of your life if you blow opportunities like that.

You will end up 50, alone, and miserable -- even if you have the money. Or maybe you die at 40 of a heart attack, and never enjoyed life at all? Because you were saving everything up for retirement one day!

There is such a thing as balance here folks!
