I think that I went through something similar when I left the professional world to go back to grad school. Definitely had to stop buying as many nice clothes. Most of my stuff now is either very old, bought on sale, or through eBay.
I think super saving is a great idea. My wife and I save around 25% of our income, and it is pretty nice to know that we will be able to retire sooner rather than later with no house debt. That said, Corsi is right. You have to enjoy life a little bit, if you can.
