This will help you find new places to try out some of your favourite things next time you want to indulge. Additionally, you will feel rewarded for discovering these gems.
- Splurge On Yourself
Often times, people deny themselves pleasure in the name of saving. Spending money doesn’t qualify as “fun” to most people but nobody regrets dining at a 5-star restaurant or visiting a park. Take a day off and spend money on life experiences rather than shopping. Not only will you be creating lasting memories but also tick off some things on your bucket list while spending quality me-time. They say, “life is short, take that trip.”
