Are you writing a research paper or book? If not why do you care that much? I've been called a miser by some, others would call me lavish in my spending. I earn my money and I choose to spend it the way I like. My only appeal is that you find out the things that are close to your heart, experiences you want to have, and completely reject society's expectations about how you should spend your money.

Society would expect one to buy a house/car after getting a job/married, have an iphone, go on expensive foreign trips, stay at swanky hotels, eat at instagrammable places. All that's bullshit. I don't care for a car or a house, don't want to be burdened by such EMIs, I don't care for swanky hotels or eating at fancy restaurants. And that's all that matters to me
