Thank you for the input Don. Seriously, I’m not a spender. My kid needs clothes for the summer. So I got her some.
And yes, i wanted to do something special for her and her friend. Her friend is watching my dog for me, so I spent a few bucks. Most certainly not a regular occurrence. I don’t vacation, I cook most meals. I take advantage of all the free lunches and dinners provided by my job and that is my social life.
I pay for my gym. That’s my personal splurge. I used gift cards for myself at the mall. It is absolutely the area I live in . Trust me on this. I have a few extras in my life that I spend mo eh on sometimes, but not spending it wouldn’t make my financial situation that much better . And I don’t want to live like I don’t make any money. Unless somehow that would totally make me financially secure, but it won’t, because I have a pretty tight hold on my spending with some exceptions as these. I’m pretty cheap, actually.
