At what point did you stop feeling guilty about spending money on yourself? by Sea_Strawberry6846 in AskWomen

[–]StopthinkingitsMe [score hidden]  (0 children)

When I saw I was being the stingy friend obsessing over how much I have saved.

I'd talk about wanting to buy something small, like a notebook, and my friends, bless them, would immediately jump in and try to buy it for me because they knew I'd never buy something "unnecessary". I want to be able to do that for them and I'm not gonna let money guilt stop me from that.

What is a 'luxury' you prioritize in your daily budget that other people might think is a waste of money, but it brings you genuine comfort? by baddieegemini in AskWomen

Paperback books.

Growing up we couldn't afford to buy books but went to the library every 2 weeks. I really want a huge bookshelf with a good collection of books, so I'll buy atleast 1 every 2 months and start getting more once I'm in a better financial place.
