[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I reject the premise - you are basically asking people to list all the stupid ways they waste money in a day, and congratulate each other on their money wasting. [/quote] That’s right, dammit. Austerity. Stoicism. NO LUXURIES. Money is to be hoarded and used only for bare necessities.[/quote] I didn't say that at all. But the examples here are ridiculous. Fancy soap or shampoo? Extra wool socks? WTH?[/quote] I don’t like those things but I don’t see the problem. Comfortable feet are super important, and some people love a good shower. Anyway, my little luxuries are a really nice, big heating pad I use when watching TV. Good tea. [b]A fancy Kindle and I buy books on it when I want, I don’t wait for library books.[/b] [/quote] This. I devour books, both on my Kindle and via Audible, and I've decided that at this point in my life I deserve to read what I want when I want to read it so I spend hundreds a year on books and audiobooks but I love it and it doesn't bother me. I don't buy coffee out though, so honestly I probably spend less than most people if you consider that. [/quote] Same. My other luxury is that I find time to knit every day. The tactile creativity and my love of yarn makes this a wonderful little luxury to sneak in, especially when things are super chaotic. [/quote] I tried knitting once and couldn't get into it but I like doing other crafts that involve hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. They're a nice contrast to the work I do during the day, which doesn't involve anything like that. [/quote]
