What items do you often splurge on, and why?

I have simple needs. So a Starbucks is like splurging to me. Otherwise, experiences, quality shoes, quality bag, quality clothes (does not need to be expensive, outlets have fantastic value for money quality products if you don't exactly care about being "fashionable") would be the ones that I will splurge on Cos they also last longer & hence need to lesser things.

I control my self spending alot, but i'll splurge ocassionally on friends and family

1) Shoes

It's a need, yet the quality I start to pursue now becomes a want. Since young, I have been used to buying bata or Taobao shoes due to SES and they don't even last me that long. Ever since I got exposure to the more affluent families in society when I entered a more prestigious school, I realised people wore Yeezys, air force to school and I was envious of that. And since I started working, I started spending more money to buy shoes.

​

2) Food

Eating good food makes me happy. That's really it.

​

3) Clothes

Again, due to low SES I don't get pretty clothes. So when I started getting income I reward myself by buying pretty clothes. Individually, they don't cost too much as I usually just buy from Taobao. (quality can be quite horrible if you buy from the wrong shops). But if you buy many pieces it does pile up...

I splurge on food when I dine out with my family as I value the experience.

I splurge on facial for self care and mental well-being.
