[quote=Anonymous]It feels like we have a ton of "want" purchases at the moment. Either things that are pleasant for us/make life easier or go towards hobbies...as well as some "needs" like furniture for a new house...like furnishing whole rooms...that we would prefer to make "the right purchases" for and spend a little more for higher, long term quality vs. low end ikea (though we are absolutely mixing in some low end stuff for storage and what not.) We were raised with and can afford a certain level of "it's cheaper in the long run to buy higher quality". Just...we are finding when we apply this to everything...at once...that we are suddenly just spending a ton of money overall cash flow wise. We are typically excellent savers, and max out retirement and college savings etc...each month, and have for as long as we've been working. Our only debt is a low interest mortgage on our house. How do we figure out what makes sense to give ourselves permission to spend on these "non-essentials" without feeling frivolous? [/quote]
