Is it true that Frugal Living is too strict and tortures ourselves?

[Suba]

Many people out there think that if we apply frugal living that is too strict, we will torture ourselves, in my opinion this assumption is not entirely wrong, many people who are chasing financial targets to achieve them quickly apply frugal living that is too strict, such as only eating rice with salt or soy sauce, no fruits, vegetables, meat etc. Being stingy to yourself, such as limiting social interactions, not taking vacations or traveling etc. What do you think?

Living a frugal life is good. But there should be a limit. You have to maintain a balance. Enjoy life once in a while. Do something you are interested in. This is good for your physical and mental well being.

I can't be frugal when it comes to food. I am not open to saving on food and my wellbeing like accommodation.

I think at the end of the day, it mainly depends on the individual. For most persons, they might not be able to live with this

Well, for me it is not. it is rather living life according to my means. I don't torture my self. at all and I live comfortably too.
