I was that way for a while, when I finally got the money to start traveling. It took about five or six round trip "knees cramped into the chair" style flights before I started realizing the extra leg room of an exit row or bigger seat was worth the 20-100$, or that landing at 5am wasn't worth the 35$ it saved me on a 200$ flight. I don't know if I'm getting older or just my values are changing, but I stop thinking of the money spent and start simply enjoying more comfortable travel.
