I feel bad spending money (even on necessities) is this normal?
I feel awful for spending money on things. Is this normal?
So I just purchased a set of takeoff wheels and tires for my car. The cost came to about $1500.
From the dealer, this combo would probably cost me 3-4k.
I ended up selling my old ones for $700 so the real cost to me was about $800. I have a bonus coming up next month that should be 5-6k so I was planning on using that to cover it when my card bill comes.
Our stats:
140-150k combined income
100k in student loans on pause between us
100k in savings
30k in retirement
I’m not sure if it’s because we’re trying to save for a house later this year, but I feel awful spending any money even on required expenses. We try to keep monthly spending below $1700 to keep up with our savings goal.
Is this a good fear to have or do I have an issue here?
