Aristotle's Golden Mean in Modern Budgeting: Finding Balance

So I was reading up on Aristotle’s idea of the golden mean that virtue lies between excess and deficiency. It got me wondering: if he were around today, how would he apply that to personal finance? We’re often pulled between extremes, like extreme frugality that feels like scarcity and overspending that leads to excess. Where do you think that “just right” middle ground is in budgeting? Is it about strict percentages, or more of a mindset shift? I’d love to hear how others balance practical limits with enjoying life without going overboard.
