Not a problem I ever had but maybe create a monthly budget item for Miscellaneous Pleasures (how is that for a title), 😄. Could do the same for Annual Vacations. Then, maybe it will feel less like you are “breaking your discipline” as you are just spending what you’ve allotted. Just a stupid thought to share.

I agree but it sounds like they already have a budget category for that, and have a hard time deciding to use it.

In that case maybe get a spouse to “help” you spend it. 😄😄😄

I'm super good at that. I get in "trouble" all the time.

I’m single by choice, unfortunately it’s not my choice

I have a bucket set up for vacations in my savings account, but as another Redditor mentioned, I have a hard time using it. I don’t know how to get over the mental bump.
