I can’t just get up and go shopping or buy things. I have a great job and make really good money, but I have tons of student debt still.
It frustrates me that I can’t take that $1,000 I’m spending a month on debt repayment (sometimes more, I’m trying to be aggressive) and just go blow it at the mall. But then I thought, wtf am I going to buy? What do I need? The answer - nothing.
So, I happily decided to not buy what I initially wanted to save money for. I’ll save money to save money. I couldn’t care less about travelling. I don’t even know what I’d want to spend my money on once I save it. But, it’s just knowing that I’m not screwed if shit ever hit the fan and I needed a quick $1,000 for repairs or something.
Right now, pure bliss is putting large sums of money towards my debt ;)
