How to spend money without feeling stressed and guilty - tips for getting better at spending // ew & pt

Whenever something costs more than $10 I have to really think about if I want it. And when it comes to clothes, if something isn’t on sale or marked down in any way, I really hesitate before I purchase it. I tend to feel unreasonably stressed and guilty when I buy most things, even something as simple as a $10 lunch at work. 

I’ve been this way for about as long as I can remember! But recently, I found myself buying things that were full-price or booking trips that cost hundreds of dollars without feeling as guilty or stressed about it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a fairly cheap person and it’s still not super easy for me to spend money on things but I think I’ve definitely gotten better at spending over the past few years.

Here is how I save money post-grad that might just inspire you to create some new habits.

The Ultimate Guide to Being Money Smart In College // eyeliner wings & pretty things

Okay, here’s a riddle for you: What’s valuable and great to have but hard to keep? If you guessed me, you’re correct. Kidding (sort of), I’m talking about paper, moolah, funds…I totally Googled “slang terms for money” and one of them that came up was “dead presidents” which seems a little dark. Does anyone actually use that term? “Yo, man, I made so many dead presidents from working overtime!”

I’m done trying to be cool now. This post is all about being money smart in college. It’s really easy to be careless in college when it comes to things like doing laundry, eating properly or skipping class but none of those things are quite as serious as learning to be smart with your money!
