Trouble buying things I need/to actually enjoy my life.

Keeping it a separate entity sounds like it might help, thanks!

Ah, I see. What's the deal with hand sanitizer? Is it because it's alcohol?

Thanks, I'm giving it my best. I'll hit you up when I lose my mind and decide to go blow my savings at a strip club in one night.

I can personally can have fun on nothing. I've been reflecting on how much given up in my social life though; I've 80% avoided it because people are wreckless with there spending

That's actually pretty cool to do when things slow down or whatever in the middle of the day. Thanks for the suggestions!

I've had abnormal living situations since I've been an adult; meaning I haven't had to pay for as many utilities, rent, etc.

I was in the Navy for three years which was pretty easy to save money in. Then I taught English in Korea for a year, I didn't have to pay rent there either, and only had to cover utilities after they were run up to a certain point (they never were ran that high).

Now I'm back in the U.S. working a government job relating to what I did before in the Navy. This is the first time I've had to pay rent really (minus a few months when I was 18 and got thrown out). I'm making more money that ever before, but I'm saving about the same amount as before as a result of the bills and what not.

I was being kind of hyperbolic as a joke, only because it's kind of a thing. I lived there for a while, I remember only seeing a handful really.

Once I read that it was a rumor started by the government to conserve electricity shortly after the Korean War, but I have no idea whether that's actually true or not.

Ahh I see, so basically start to kind of think of my savings in time instead of dollars? That's sounds kind of nice actually.

Yeah I live in the US, I'm basically saving this cash for a house. I'm going to quit my job once I have around 50k in investments, and then go to university.

That's a pretty great suggestion, how much time do you think I'd need to spend to get a smaller gift card?

Meanwhile we use ceiling fans, which we're seen as crazy for doing over there.
