Yeah I guess. I work very simply.
Buy it if I need it without hesitation.
Ongoing regular costs are not to be fretted over.
If there isn't an axe at my job hanging over my head as it is now with the restructure, use term deposits.
Otherwise... Hobby money... Try not spend over 100$ a month. :/ I mostly spend 0$ a month.

@kimmy159 I've found it less painful as my hobbies are mostly free. I never have spending money because I generally don't spend or call it "Money to waste". I think behaviour of consumption breeds behaviour of consumption. Since I don't indulge, I don't feel the need to indulge but that takes years you know.
What I will say is I can always spend money on what I want but I'm not looking at expensive things or even not expensive things to buy because realistically I won't use it. I think that comes from living a full life though

That’s very wise and insightful 😁 You’re right about it too 😁
Ads and companies rely on us as consumers to try and fill a void with most products, especially luxury ones. But that high from buying something nice is very temporarily and afterwards, we often feel like we didn’t need it at all.
Even though I know this, I still like buying nice things once in a while 😂 we also only live once and I save more money than I spend.
These days it’s more about trips with family though than buying things 😁
What kind of hobbies do you have? 😁
