I think, perhaps, the key word here should be balance.
I took an Alaskan vacation a few years ago and throughly enjoyed everything about it. I spent a lot for it and some would say it was crazy to spend that much on a silly fishing vacation. I saved for it and didn't come home to any debts. It's possible to be a frugal saver and still spend money and enjoy your time on the planet if you plan it out. I save, give to charity, and don't see any reason to not pursue your passions in life as long as you can truly afford it.
