I don’t do it often, but there’s some months when I overspend.

My family friend just died at 35 after battling cancer throughout the pandemic. Didn’t see most friends or family for 2 years then she was too sick to do anything. I’m not saying that’s typical, but certainly makes you think. Don’t make a habit out of it, but yeah… some months get the steak, take the vacation, enjoy life
