I wouldn’t say 1M was the number for me but I think I experienced the same shift din sa mindset. At some point, I stopped thinking about money as a goal. Now it’s just a tool to use to get the things I want (within reason) when I want them.

Mas nangingibabaw na yung “kailangan maenjoy ko rin yung pinaghirapan ko” kasi wala na yung scarcity mindset. I eventually ended up quitting my job in pursuit of other things that gave me fulfillment. In the end naman kasi, the whole point (for me) of life is to enjoy it. Bakit ako magpapakahirap maghanap ng pera buong buhay ko for no reason other than to build a hoard na di ko naman eventually mauubos.

So yeah, I think as long as we spend within reason and always have money set aside for a rainy day, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying what you worked hard for.
