[quote=Anonymous]I have a "genteel poverty" mindset because I was raised like that.  My parents tried their best but money was always an issue.  Then I immigrated here and for a long time we lived in penurious condition here.  It has impacted me  a lot.

My DH has an "affluence mentality" and that makes me even more nervous.  He is wasteful, buys more than needed, does not take care of things...it is too much and it makes me unhappy.

Here is what I can gladly spend money on and it is my "rich" life.  
-  House/car maintenance and timely repairs.
-  Education and acquiring skills/experience  - classes, books, subscriptions, devices,  tutors, travel.
-  Organic and/or nutritious food. 
-  Correct gear/attire - weather, travelling, hobbies, causes, work, hosting, socializing. 
-  Health -  tests, supplements, exercise equipments.

I care about what to wear and how I look, but I am also not name brand-conscious and won't spend too much money on things. I maintain what I have very well and I buy classic pieces so that I look good.
