Hi there.
I recently spent around $1,000 dollars for a trip to AR to visit some family-- a plane ticket and an airbnb. I'm young (18, to be exact), and this is the largest amount of money I've ever spent in one place in my life.
I'm excited for the trip, but I can't stop thinking about how huge of a dent I've made in my bank account-- I keep trying to tell myself that the money will be made back in a few months, but at the same time, the thought of buying a $5 sandwich brings me to tears, just because that's money that will no longer be in my bank account.
Is this normal with young people/has anyone felt the same when they were young? Obviously to prevent this in the future I'll plan better and get a ticket earlier for a cheaper price, but I can't shake the feeling of how worthless I am for spending so much money. I need help, sorry if this turned into a rant.
