No really, I'm serious. Splurging once in a while can
help you get out of debt faster and save more in the long run.
If you are constantly paying down debt and/or stashing
money into savings and doing nothing fun, you may soon become frustrated.
Especially if the results are slow in coming. And then you might go out and
blow a ton of money on something silly instead of just blowing a little bit.
Living like a desert monk is good for the finances but all
that scrimping and saving can get to you. Instead set aside a bit of money each
payday for fun. Call it your Blow money. Once you have it, go Blow it on
something. Dinner out, new shoes, a box of Lucky Charms cereal, disco-ball,
whatever meets your fancy.
Just don't go bonkers and spend tons of money each payday
doing this, make it a reasonable amount for your current financial
situation.
Want to splurge on a larger purchase? Then save your
monthly splurge money until you have enough and then go for it. Buy that leopard-print
couch or that autographed collection of Kim Kardashian bikini pictures*.
