(For the purpose of this discussion, "entertainment" is mostly any expense not strictly necessary and is not health or fitness related.)

So, I'm trying to work my way to leanfire and I'm having trouble balancing out "living life" vs saving to fire. I can accept netflix, but what about that $100 headphones that looks nice? What about the nice desk toy? What about that game that I really want to play on my console?

I find myself usually not doing any of these and I definitely feel like that I'm too restrictive. But I have no idea what an actual good balance would be.

What do/did you all do on your way to leanfire? Mind sharing numbers? (pay/networth/entertainment budget would all help)
