Which can also as easily be used as an argument to actually spend that money and enjoy it. In the end, it's important that the money is well spent: If you enjoy that 10$ coffee or 25$ takeout, it's awesome. If it's a daily habit that you're used to and doesn't give you much joy anymore, it's wasted money.
- ryandrake 2y agoIt's not the $5 latte or $10 avacado toast that's keeping young people broke. I think we can all agree that that number is a drop in the bucket compared to huge expenses they are struggling with. The problem is the mindset of "I should be able to have a luxury because it makes me feel better" which, if you accept it, starts to pervade all of your spending. It justifies the Netflix subscription. Then it justifies the weekly beer bill and food delivery. Then it justifies a few video game DLCs or virtual items. Then it justifies blowing $500 on a banger birthday party or a nice vacation somewhere. Before you know it, you're buying a new wardrobe and a pickup truck you don't need. All because "You only live once and I deserve those little luxuries that bring me joy."
