The concept of “treating yourself” has gained popularity recently as people focus more on their mental and emotional well-being. While indulging in treats can be positive, it’s essential to avoid excessive spending.
It’s crucial to remember that a treat is meant to be something extraordinary that brings joy. Some individuals may justify frequent unnecessary purchases as self-treating, but this behavior can lead to overspending rather than genuine self-care.
Personally, I enjoy treating myself occasionally. However, I always ensure that I only spend money I already possess. If I have outstanding bills or essential expenses, I prioritize those before indulging in treats. Sometimes, I take on extra work to earn money specifically for treating myself.
The key is to allow yourself the occasional reasonable splurge, keeping it within your means. Splurging regularly can result in a home filled with unnecessary items but lacking in essential resources.
