I am also an aggressive saver and have difficulty giving myself "permission" to spend money on non-essentials. One approach that helps me is to have a saving account just for splurges - it's fed by automatic transfers just like my retirement and long term savings. It's my fun money for vacations, toys, etc. I can use that money without anxiety that I'm short-changing my other goals.
