Do you feel guilty after spending money?

[666 ReVeNGe 666]

I know I need to treat myself once in a while but damn

I be feeling guilty AF

I spent about 350-400 on myself on a ps4 and some games and the nes classic

I'm happy but I be like that could go into my savings or be used to pay off my car

I really got PTSD from my broke days in the hood

When it's on women and whores i do.

Why should I feel guilty about using money that I worked for, without negatively affecting anyone else in the process, on the things that I want?

 

[Turk]

I dont feel guilty but i really hate spending money. I just like looking at my bank account

No because I use the "Jar Method".


I set aside 30% of each check in a savings account designated to be spent later on something big. This is a long term thing. Maybe you buy something big every qtr of the year, OR one big thing at he end of the month.

I take another 10% of my check and put it in a play money checking account. So I have play money in the short term for little bullshyt.

40% of my check goes into my Necesseties checking account. Rent/food/car/insurance/clothing needs.

10% is invested and never spent.(IRA)

10% saved for education or personal growth expenditures.

With this method you should never feel guilty spending play money, its meant for playing.

Ya'll nyggas so backward that you spend money on yourself and worry if you're simpin

It would have to be way beyond my budget for me to regret it money exists to be spent and not just on necessities but entertainment too

 

[onthereal]

I didn't work in 2015 (liquidated everything) so there was slight guilt behind everything even just buying groceries.

I've toned down the entertainment and excess spending. Haven't bought a video game in over six months. My spending is mostly on necessities like food and bills, debt removal and investments (mainly books - I enjoy reading). Have a separate account for all that stuff now.

Won't lie tho, a nikka has been sweating a 4k TV for a minute now. Maybe next year if I can get my financials on track.

 

[Gold]

Nah, I adhere to my budget pretty strictly and I rarely use the monthly amount I set aside for "entertainment"
Most of my impulse purchases are pooled from that.

Now if I go over that... yeah I feel like dying

This.

I fukking hate that shyt.

I think what it is, for me, is that once I've accumulated a certain amount of money, I don't ever want to have less than that amount.

So spending money potentially puts me into a negative cash-flow situation for a month...

Which potentially puts me at having less than before.

I know it's stupid cause I'm basically rich.

But yea, I hate that shyt.
