At what point do yall feel comfortable spending money on something you want, like a trip? I am doing well for my age, but everytime I get to the point where I decide I will do something for myself I feel guilty and push that milestone further back

I jumped the gun and reserved an Airbnb for next year. Gotta take a vacation every once in a while and by paying for it now I feel I won’t feel as guilty 6 months out from it. Never know when your time is up or your health will take a turn. Took me saving figures to be able to make that purchase without feeling like crap

For me if you have an emergency fund, are saving at least 15% towards retirement, and are debt free then do whatever you want with the rest.

Knowing that you have at least 6 months of expenses set aside def eases the guilt
