You mean "when are you trying to be 'too frugal'"?

For me, it's when you have the means to enjoy yourself but do not because you are too focused on saving that extra dime. I've been there before, and when I catch myself, I relax a little. Yes it's important to live frugally, but not at the expense of making your life (and the lives of those around you) miserable. Sometimes (as in cases of deep debt) a bit of misery through frugality is an unfortunate necessity, but if you can afford to skip it, do so.
