Recognize this? You’ve been “at it” for days or weeks or months; living frugal. But now it’s enough! Now it’s time for the Big Payback. The Reward. The Money Party.
You and yours go out to the mall, shop until you drop — and the next day, like a bad drunk, you feel guilty as hell.
Fact of the matter is that you’re not rewarding yourself.
The painful drawback here is that doing this undermines much of the effort of that frugality.
Inconsistent frugality is wasted frugality.
One great way to make frugality work for you is to budget your entertainment and other unnecessary expenses.
