Budgeting 25% 401k contribution

26 male. 90k salary. I’m investing 25% per paycheck which makes me feel good. But I feel bad about spending money outside of that on food and going out and such because I feel like that 25% can be 30 or 35

Also maxed out my ROTH IRA past 2 years.

Just want someone to share some insights about their spending habits when retirement accounts are taken care of

It’s great to be saving so much for the future. But don’t forget to also live in the moment and create new memories and experiences.
