Hey guys! I'm beginning graduate school next year in a snowy area and needed an awd/4wd car. I've saved more than enough money for it, and today I got a used one for 5.5k. Its in fantastic condititon (got an exhaustively thorough pre-purcahse inspection) and while it isn't perfect it should be more than enough to get me through the next four years.
As soon as I got home, though, I was hit with this mind-numbing feeling of guilt/anxiety. Do any of you ever find that your frugal mindset messes with your head such that even logical purchases like this fuck you up? This is the first car I've bought, also, so that might be part of why spending "so much" is feeling so terrible. Thanks a bunch, everyone.
