Do you treat yourself?

When was the last time you treated yourself to something nice, like a "New Outfit",
"A Day at the Spa" or a little trip just to get out of town?
When I quit smoking which was 10 month ago I told my honey I will buy myself something every month
from the money I saved. The only thing I buy is stuff at the $5.99 Store.
I bought stuff after Christmas but that was Gifts Certificates I got from work.
I buy him more stuff then a buy myself. I guess I just don't need a lot of things.
So to make a long Story Short the last thing I did for myself was probably 
when me and my Girlfriend went to a Charlie Daniels and 38 Special Concert I spend quite a few $ on Drinks.
What about you.

It took me a while too and you know what the 38 special tickets were giving to me so it didn't even cost me nothing but drinks.
Thanks for talking to me anyway, it's almost time for me to leave

I'm lucky I remember 38 Special because I missed Charlie Daniels Band.
To many Brewskies then I got lost going to the Bathroom and never found my Girlfriend again.. I ended up taking a cab home while she was looking all over for me.
What a night.

I do treat myself from time to time, usually with a Starbucks coffee or a night out on the town!

Starbucks is definitely a treat as much as they charge for coffee.

I always treat myself. Haha. I don't really reward myself for my accomplishments, so when I see something that I really like sometimes, i just buy it. I'm not an impulse shopper, but I don't keep myself from buying things that are cute and amusing just because I don't need them. I think giving in to my baser desires is a form of treating myself. :)

I always treat myself. I live by the rule that you should take care of yourself because no one else will. In fact I am treating myself and two other friends to an out of town trip tomorrow. Then early next month a friend and I are going to a resort town up north of us for a couple of days (just to get out of town).

I have not treated myself in a long time. I do go to goodwill about once a month and spend about 10.00 on myself. I have not even had a hair cut in years , but I do color it at home myself every month. I just do not feel like treating myself to much. I do not want to take from our money for myself so that our bills are paid and we have rent paid.

Yes, I try to treat myself every once in awhile. It's my way or rewarding myself for a job well done at this, that, or the other thing. The last time I did this was last week when I bought a book I typically wouldn't buy because it's $20.00 - it was a birthday/good job type of splurge. It felt good and I wish I could afford to do it more often.

I went to Las Vegas with some other ladies in September. While I was there I got a manicure, and pedicure. I also got some clip on hair extensions. That was kind of nice, I won $600 so that paid for almost all of my indulgences, unfortunately I have hardly worn the extension since I have been back home.

That's what we do when we win money,we get stuff that we usually can't afford.
To bad we don't win more often.

I always do. when i got my first job, i always do it for myself. well even when i was still studying, though i don't have money on my own that time. I used to do ever since. i don't know, it feels good doing things i always wanted or might be eating whatever i have in mind. those kind of stuff you know.

I usually dont treat myself unless its Christmas time and I have extra money then. I treat myself with small things like a nice dinner out with my husband or a margerita with the girls. Im addicted to flip flops and purses so if I need some shopping therapy thats usually what I end up buying. My husband will treat me by buying me San Antonio Spurs basketball stuff or dvds. He tells me I think more of others and end up spending more on them then myself. Alot of time he has to be the one to treat me because I dont treat myself.

That's how I am.
I go to the store and come back with shorts for him or a Shirt but nothing for myself.

I like to treat myself - and maybe a friend or something to a meal out every so often.
After I have worked hard all week. I usually buy myself a treat whether i think i deserve
it or not,like that i've done something good.
It's up to you really, hope this helps! thanks

I try to treat myself every payday.
Usually its a dinner or a hanging out drinking expensive drinks I like.
Sometimes I can't afford to do this but I do try.
Also a couple hours in a coin casino with drinks is a good favourite of mine.

Right on I'm thinking about getting mine cut but I'm scared.
I haven't had a hair cut in 15 years or so.
My Hair don't grow.

Hey missy! I think that you need to treat yourself more often!
If you stopped smoking then you are really saving alot of
money! You should go out to lunch or buy yourself something
once in awhile! You are working so you should do that. Buy
yourself some new clothes. It doesn't have to be something
big, maybe a new top or a new handbag, just something to make
you feel good about yourself! I know if I was still working
that's what I would be doing! I would be going out to eat
with my girlfriends like I used to do!

I do need a new purse.
My honey bought me 1 last Christmas but I take it to work every day and it's getting worn out.

Yes! I treat myself! Sometimes I spend a lot of money just to treat myself.. I would go to McDonalds alone and eat French Fries and Coke float; at times, I buy new clothes or shoes.,
