Just as you said here,
I've always felt people should spend on what they crave especially if they're going through a lot to make their money
People spend based on cravings that’s why some buy cars even when they are living in a rented apartment, some would spend on phones even if they know it’s their last dime and won’t have enough for some. Some it’s clothes shoes and all
I was once the type that didn’t like spending on myself rather than spend, I’d instead save up. But I realized that why do I work if not to look good and be comfortable. Now when I have cravings (mostly food though) I quench the cravings but that doesn’t mean I won’t still have savings but I have learnt how to balance things up.
Thanks for this write up
