I grew up poor and often times I find myself caught between wanting to buy something expensive (especially if it’s something that I’ve really wanted for a long time) and hardly spending any money because I’m so used to being in a seemingly perpetual state of saving money. If anything, it feels weird making smaller and usually wasteful purchases for things (which do add up in the long run) that I may regret. Regardless of how much it costs I’m always seriously evaluating its value to me either while I’m saving for it or as I’m hesitating to click a purchase button. It’s mainly why I don’t have any active subscription services right now.
