Financial Security is, well, unlikely for most of us.
I'm not going to get the sexy stock options of the last decade. Nor I don't stand to inherit enough. Perhaps enough to buy a house (although not one near Boston), once that all gets sorted out, if it ever does. But it won't cover taxes or maintenance.
Serenity comes when you truly distinguish between money and abundance. Don't regard savings as depriving yourself, think instead that you're avoiding instant gratifications for an eventual something genuinely satisfying.
You've heard this before. Try to save at least 10% of what you make. Presumably past what I expect to have removed bodily when the 1099s come due. I'm trying to clear the debts first, locate my 401(k)s and figure out how to start contributing again, then I can save for that Sierra Club vacation package.
