You are worth the cost, but I would also be very uncomfortable having next to no savings. I mean, what if something unexpected happens? I'm not trying to negate possible attachment related reasons for wanting to cut back, but I think it's equally plausible that you could convince yourself not to cut back by constructing a false narrative that allows you to go with what you want to do, rather than what you feel would actually be best.
