Do you spoil yourself, just a little?

Yes...i definitely treat myself to those little things but i always make a constant effort to link those treats with little successes of everyday life. For eg. say a productive/wow day at work is equivalent to a late night movieshow or say secret help to a friend or collegue will inturn help me indulge in some chocolate pastries. I ultimately believe you do whatever possible to bring yourself in good mood and treating yourself to little things is just an outburst of the joyous emotions of celebrating life.

I think spoiling yourself every once in a while is a good thing. It makes you happy and you appreciate the little things in life more if you do so every once in a while. It is also said that people who treat themselves to small things rather than one big thing (for example a vacation) every once in a while are happier, more motivated and have better results in work, etc. Ben en Jerries... aw... caramel chew chew... sweet temptation!

I just did that to myself today. I and my best friend was supposed to check a small business prospect but we ended up brain storming for a another business. Anyway we haven't done anything except treating ourselves through eating even though we are on a tight budget we decided then to treat ourselves on Chowking. I think its not but after all to treat myself at least i have to relax myself. I know i will be short in cash on the coming days and that make me stress but perhaps treating myself for once will be worth it and i deserve it as well. I felt good today anyway and i think we all deserve to treat ourselves once in a while.

Hi uicbear.. Hmm, I don't think I'm a tight person actually I only buy stuffs which I really need When hunting my stuffs, I like to go to bargain shop and sale department I often found stuffs worth-buying there .. XD Mostly, I spend my money for someone else Like for my parents and sister or some close friends And I seriously enjoy my way spending money, It always feel great for gifting But that doesn't mean I'm a wasteful person, I do save money as much as I can Hahaa, I also like collecting coins and small bills, it's super fun .. :D I might been a spoiled one around last week There's a grey tshirt which I fell in love from the first sight.. Haha Although it's kinda pricy, I still buy it for the lunar new year dinner Hahaa.. And now I regret buying it ;-P I believe I could find something cheaper but still good looking one.. Hahaa, anyway thanks !!

I did. I still treat myself with a gourmet chocolate.

My answer is YES, I loved to splurge whenever I got paid so I have decided to cut back and not spend as often as I did, and I would rotate with the things I decided to buy and all is HAPPY.

i spoil myself by hitting a thrift store every few weeks to look around. the one i go to you can still buy stuff for a quarter. its like a garage sale all year round. its my favourite treat. sometimes i buy stuff, sometimes i dont.

Yeah, I still treat myself to those little things. Why not? I still have to enjoy the life while I am alive. ? But most of the time, I will only spend the money on those sale stuff, which is difference to the past. I will buy a pair of shoes, a good bargain of blouse and dress etc.

I don't usuallu treat myself for food or consider it some "spoiling" in me despite the tightened budget we are all experiencing right now. However, I did what I consider a still pampering myself when I can buy sale products for very very cheap prices. Like what happened last day when I was in the mall. I saw the Victoira's Secret store was having their semi-annual sale and everything was just so cheap. I got 3 pairs of hand bags w/ 3 different items inside each for just 6.25$ and I know I can no longer find this kind of sale price for this year so I take the chance of buying them and those other beauty products w/c costs only 2 or 3 $. I guess that's a good buy and treat amidst the tight economy. I consider myself lucky that day.

i usually never do but i have gotten magazine subscriptions.. i used to never get that since i never could afford it but i got a free offer then the xmas before last one i spent my xmas money on getting a subscription since i love to read celebrity gossip magazines.. usually the only thing i do to spoil myself is go out to eat every once in awhile with my hubby or best friend but that is rare.. other than those i feel guilty which is silly but i just dont want much anyways.. as long as i have internet and tv and music im happy lol.. and those other than the monthly payments i would already have in having them are free

I definitely do buy little things to spoil myself. I buy little cross-stich kits to work on (priced anywhere from $1.99 to $8.00). And its funny, because I just spoiled myself today, by buying a book from a booksale at the library. All books were sold for $1. What a deal! (I go to the Library sometimes to get the sensation of "shopping", even though it's free.... does that sound silly?) Occasionally I will buy ice cream or a shake - which I totally do not need! I try not to carry much cash, which lately is pretty easy to do. But I need to make an effort not to buy any necessities from Walmart....because I simply cannot walk through that store without buying something I do not need! If I spoil myself with a book at Walmart, we are looking at $5.00 and up! But I honestly I do not spend much money (to my husband's delight). He spends way more than I do. I think I was born without a shopping gene....and it was given to him instead. :)

Most of the time I keep resisting my temptations on buying anything that catches my eyes. I prefer keeping them and save them for future use. But if I really can't resist it, most likely I would buy it. And most of the time, it would cost me a lot and cuts my savings big time.

yes there a lot of things which i don't compramise on.like my kids day out every fortnight.its a must!!my soothing food like hot chocolate fudge.my sons party day where he calls all his friends to treat with their own selection of movie and snackes and music(don't ever think of entering that room-you will go deaf..don't worry he is just four and half).my hubby day out with frinds.our long drive of the month!!!!!..i can never up this pleasure of life!

well yeah if I'm on tight budget I would usually cut out something but the things I love never stay out of my list to buy things like some megazines , some dellicious junky food and those stuff haha

I don't think I ever really buy myself something small. Sometimes I'll buy myself a special drink or a candy bar from the store or something but it's on rare occasions when I give into temptations. I always think about how all those little purcahses add up and how I really do NOT need that thing whatever it may be.

Until quite recently, I indulged every now and then. I threw all my change in a box at the end of a day and, when it was almost too heavy to lift, I'd take the coins to the bank and exchange them for paper money. Then that would be used for things like Starbucks overpriced coffee or even the designer original dress I'm wearing right now. I got it on sale, but it was still fairly pricey. It's been a while since I could do that, though. The coins are having to be used for essentials and the bils are really hard to pay. This, too, shall pass!
