[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously means different things to different people. I sat down and added it up last night and it was sobering. Given, I'm in late 40's so I certainly do more than when I was younger. But it's still a lot. This doesn't include gym membership, cost of healthy eating, and therapy as needed. Haircut/highlights (quarterly): 2000 Lash extensions (monthly): 3000 Dysport/filler (biannual): 2000 Retin A/skin care, as needed: 500 Annual cost: ~ 7500 Things I don't do spend on: mani/pedis/massages/spa (don't particularly enjoy) Expensive bags/shoes/clothes (not a big shopper & don't love labels) Makeup (don't buy expensive brands) Just interesting to see it written down. That's a lot for self-care and while I can afford it, it's not money I'm putting in the market. Anyway curious about others' habits/cost.[/quote] I havebt had my haircut since last September but I have an appt next month because my brother use to do my hair but he moved and I finally gave up trying to bring him home anytime soon so I assume 150 x 3qmonths= 450. I just bought 500 worth of skincare products and I'll likely need that one more time to finish off the year. I expect it to last 3-4 months so 1500k skincare yearly. No lashes. No injections. I don't wear makeup, I wear tinted SPF (FSA 30 4-5x year) and use gift cards or target for mascara/brows. I ask for a year supply of my favorite chapstick for Xmas every year and I use FSA to buy sunscreen chapstick. I just started getting massages again so that's 250 q 3months but usually one of those is a present for mother's day or birthday. Massage= 750. Pedicures gift cards or 60/q2month for April-October =240. 2500 total for turning 36. If you include peloton (DH and I both use the bike membership now 50/mo split =$300) and getmomstrong= 175 and random items like razors it's prob 3000-3500. [/quote]
