I see personal finance as supporting your overall well being. If you forget the purpose for paying attention to personal finance (become obsessed with certain things - saving money...) you miss the value. The idea is to appropriately address personal financial matters to achieve overall success. Exactly right. I see personal finance as supporting your overall well being.

I think, if the consideration were solely financial, then hands down I choose to live life. But when other principles come into play, then there are other considerations. I am committed to conservation, for example, so driving somewhere just to get a cup of free coffee is not a good trade-off for me. In the same vein, a free item from a company I didn't like would also not be worth it. That all being said, I am totally in agreement that getting free stuff can be fun! :) Totally agree, except for the “spend more on gas” part.

But it has to be done in a smart manner. I think it's a great feeling to save up a little to splurge on an item you would like, or head to that very expensive restaurant. But there are plenty of times when this shouldn't be done and it shouldn't become a habit. In moderation it's great.
