Does anyone ever feel like they are on a great saving streak and then there's a "just cuck me up" moment? Asking for all my fellow bare-minimal spenders. I went home and bought a whole lot of online shit I had wanted for a while, just because I had given up momentarily on saving after that dining experience.

Keep a seperate fund for spending. Put like $20 a week in it to spend on whatever

It's a great idea. Something I noticed is that when I keep all of my money in the one account, I spend way more of it because it's all there and all accessible. Surely there must be a psychological explanation for that.

Long story short, I'm withdrawing all of my money next week.

Yes there is. It's called "reference dependent preferences".

Wtf op

You don't buy dinner for 4 people when you're on minimum wage.

You should have taken just your mom out.

20 dollars a week is your "spending" fund?

What would you even spend something that small on?

Im just giving an example for OP. Personally I rarely spend any money outside my usual expenses.
