you know – this is always represented in the news/etc as ‘a starbucks a day’ but i mean moreso a gadget or a shirt. i’m splurging on deodorant right now. is that immoral? are you meant to have a mostly austere budget until you’re a boomer with a house and a fence?
so uhh what’s the last little thing you bought to not go insane?
I’m quite frugal, I also moved a ton as a child so my parents kept the amount of my belongings to a minimum. Because of this is often don’t buy things, maybe even when I should. I usually opt for repair or reservice.
I have a hard time spending any money on myself, maybe even to a slightly unhealthy degree. For spending money on others its usually not an issue. Right now I just tell myself I spend nothing because I really really really want a house. Though it’s probably not super likely based in how the market has been trending
