I don't stick to a strict budget because it makes me feel like I have to spend all the money allocated. Instead, I carefully consider every purchase. For essentials, I don't think twice and buy them without much thought. However, for more expensive items, I never buy on impulse. I wait a few days to see if it was just a whim or if I really want/need it.
this territory is moderated
Is there any area of your life that is a sheer indulgence? Like cars, watches, shoes, etc?

No! I come from a poor family and was always raised to be thrifty. I don't spend money without thinking twice. I'm not a consumerist. I'm actually surprised at myself at how easily I can give away satoshis. I'm also trying to follow the FIRE movement.
