Or maybe OP, you can learn to say no to some things, I assume that the reason that you're spending too much money not because you're spending it on yourself but because you're eager to spend money for someone else, be it for an individual or an occassion, maybe if you do that and you being able to learn to backpedal with your expenses, you'd probably make some progress, as @apogio pointed out, it's really difficult to do what you're doing and time consuming so I elected you to offer a solution that's much better because you still be able to use the money and it's at your disposal, you won't be having any issues with it and you're not worried for emergencies.
And I was think same, and since his already 40years and planning to save for another 40 years ? Well, he should also take to cognizant that, no one is certain when theyll die and at such, save all those money might be a waste since he never mentioned if hell be tell anyone about it.
I support @maus0728 that op should Al it down on his spendings and try to focus more on himself because one reason one spends so much is mostly trying to Carter for others and not necessarily themselves and by cutting down on these expenses, Im sure oo might have more value for his money and also have the money readily available for him at all times without getting to lock it down.
Just my ooo though.
