Once in a while, moderately, is okay. Having control is key.<br /><br />@fallingintofavor: That's my problem, too -- I have no problem spending on other people (like my hubby), but on myself? It's much more difficult. I think that's why my mother-in-law likes to buy me clothes for my birthday/Christmas, haha. I probably look like a ragamuffin sometimes.<br /><br />@MoneyHoneySF: She's aware -- she also bought the dress for the wedding, but didn't *quite* feel as guilty about that one as the shoes. Reckless spending is scary, and it pains me to see people who do it. @Revanche: It *is* easy to spend your hard-earned cash. Once in a while, moderately, is okay. Having control is key.

It's especially good if your friend is aware that she is spending her money on certain things and feel somewhat in quilt about it.<br /><br />I'm more concern with the ones that spend recklessly without a conscience as to where their money has gone.<br /><br />Happy spending! :) I think a little healthy spending here and there is no harm.

I'm more concern with the ones that spend recklessly without a conscience as to where their money has gone.

Happy spending! :)

Even when I have money alloted for me to spend, I always find myself spending it on other people. Like: a friend's baby shower gift, even though there is money budgeted for the gift. Its like I feel guilty spending money on me unless its my birthday. So I come up with ways to reward myself. You worked out and ate well for 2 weeks, buy that shirt you've been eying for months! lol I do the same thing!

I sort of *have* to be hard on all my spending decisions to make sure I don't throw caution to the wind and spend like a madwoman. :) Because as careful as I am about money, it's really too easy to spend it up.<br /><br />This is why I divide my money into spending pots, so I don't whinge about spending on insurance, maintenance, etc. and then cringe when I remember that I bought a goody for myself.
