I really, really want to spend money
So I end up tricking my brain into not spending. I know it's the right thing but I hate it.
I really, really want to buy stuff. Not presents, not avocados out of season but things I don’t actually need like sequins, metallics, velvet, feathers and faux fur.
I am apparently going through a glam-rock period.
Thing is, I could afford to buy stuff (lifestyle creep is a thing) but I know if I buy something spontaneously, I’ll regret it later. That’s a cycle I don’t want to deal with so the question is, how do you (re: I) deal?
And yes, yes, I budget and track my spending but it is hard to resist temptation when it’s lurking around every corner decked in marketing sparkle and sliding into your DMs like an unwanted crypto-bro or forex creep.
