It has been a huge help for me! Like I said, I obviously still struggle in purchasing certain things, but it’s more so because I need to put thought into it, and then I know I will value the things I buy. I used to buy things just for a thrill and move on after one wear or one use. Everything is now bought with purpose instead of for fun.

Totally going to implement that spending decision-making process. Where I used to justify spending money in almost a completely opposite process, I now need to learn how to spend it again.
My beau and I decided the same thing – we get each other smaller, thoughtful, and usually practical gifts and then spend whatever larger sum we’ve set aside on experiences. E.g. he got me a high quality and adorable travel pillow for valentine’s day along with the promise that we’ll go on an adventure as soon as we can afford to.
