[quote=Anonymous]46 y.o. mom of two kids. This is less than what I spend on my appearance, but we have a higher income. I also have a job where I travel and am in front of large audiences frequently, so certain things I spend on make it easier to do my job (e.g. Brazilian blowouts so I don't have to spend time styling my hair). The one thing that stands out to me is the $500-$1K on a luxury item annually. When we earned closer to what you do, I would not have done that. Overall, it doesn't matter what's normal, it's what you can afford. When our HHI was closer to yours, DH and I both set ourselves monthly budgets for personal spending. I tracked mine pretty closely at the time. Notably, while I do spend more now and don't track things, some of the habits related to thinking about the trade-offs when making purchases have stayed with me.[/quote]
