Cut back, not cut off - I used to spend 50% of my income on social life but i didn't regret it one bit (pre-uni days). Once i started actually working, i save 50% of my income till date.
Spend money on experience, and save the same (or more) for the future!

Hey there! Cutting off your social life by 100% might seem a bit extreme. May I suggest you begin with baby steps - https://www.sevendollarmillionaire.com/1-baby-s...
I found this quote very useful in the article:
“Done right, saving money is more fun than spending money.”
I think you should take the smallest, easiest, most simple steps you can, while slowly transitioning to the lifestyle you want to achieve.

I used to think like you in the past cutting down on social life , saving money. But I realised something, i miss out a lot on the ability to build network which is one of the most important skills to have in life. You will thank me later when you are an adult.
when we are too frugal it affects us mentally over the long term. Learn to spend wisely, not in extreme ways.
