Hi, I'm not sure this is the right subreddit for this but it is so incredibly hard for me to spend money. In some cases I stress out like crazy on small purchases of even $10.
I tend to save all the money I make unless I have to absolutely spend it such as for groceries, or if it will make me look bad if I don't such as buying a colleague a present. I don't feel too bad about the neccesities because, well I have to live. However, there are times when I have avoided social engagements because I know that I will have to spend a bit of money.
I believe the reason for this is that I constantly feel financially insecure (like ill go broke or something if I save) even though it is unrealistic. I have a stable job with okay pay and my lifestyle is very simple (mostly cause I don't like spending). I am worried that my cheapness will cause me to lose my youth and I do not want to regret this later.
How can I overcome this?
