I have a different spending habit than many people because I am an investor.
I rather spend $8000 to buy shares of a great company in the stock market than to spend $10 on a hand cream.
I truly do not understand the need for so many kinds of creams selling in the shops.
When you just need a simple cream to keep your body moisturize, the shop assistants ask so many questions.
I do not know how to answer questions as to the types of skin I have.
In the end, I just describe the environment that I will use the moisturizer, and just choose the best value for money.
It is so easy to buy shares in the stock market than to buy a simple cream.

I think self-care items cannot be compared in investing something. For some people, it is a part of rewarding themselves for working so hard. Hard money is really difficult to squander. But then, we also deserve to have something for ourselves.

I guess all of us just have different interests in different areas.

Another point to make is that beauty products are getting too complicated.
It seems that they are promoting a special product for a special environment or occasion or something.
The worst is face cream or cleanser.
I just do not know what the difference is among so many products.

What you wish to do is invest and that is not called spending. You need to spend too and that will happen when you book your profits. Those profits are for spending.

why the hell would some one wants a hand cream? I just know little about investing in stocks. I am still so broke right now to even consider having that risk. I don't have a mentor to teach me were to put my money's worth so even today I'm not comfortable doing it.

Comparing investment with the healthcare is a bit unrealistic. Investing is your choice and investment gives you something in return.
But about the skincare, you must choose accordingly to your skin and environment. You cannot ignore the condition of your skin and go for the economic one.

It is better to invest with big money than small money.
When a person invests with a large sum of money, he is very careful since he cannot afford to make mistake.
For those who invest a bit here and there, he does not do his homework well, and just rely on luck.

You have reminded me of a time when I was travelling interstate. I went to a pharmacy and told them I just want some moisturizer not too much as I'm travelling. The assistant was so sweet, he gave me many samples of everything he thought I might need. Consequently, I left the store with a much heavier bag than I had previously, hehe
