When it can make sense to splurge
Spend on what you use every day; save on the rest.
A budget doesn't mean buying the cheapest of everything. It means spending on what matters to you and saving on what doesn't.
A simple rule
- Splurge on things you use daily and love, if cost per use stays low
- Save on things that touch your skin briefly, like cleanser and body wash
- Save on tools and basics
- Wait 30 days before buying anything new and expensive
