I understand some people have an emotional connection to where they are living and that is what led to my "financially immature" comment. A house is a liability, not an asset.

A house can also have economic value far exceeding financial value and you are being a little dismissive with the "emotional connection" piece. I would rather splurge a little on a house that I love than I would on something with 4 wheels that gets me from point a to point b for example.

IMO,there should always be a balance between enjoying it now and saving for later. I used to take it to the extreme with saving and frugality, but I've found greater balance and enjoyment over the last few years in spending a little money.
