I'm on the brink of making a careless purchase while going through financial stress because I want just a little happiness
How much are you willing to spend carelessly?
I'm not sure, but maybe somewhere between $300-$500
It is fine to buy things to make you happy every once in a while. Only buy it if you can afford it and it will not hamper your finances.
I'll go for it.
Like I said, as long as you budget wisely then it's fine to buy things for yourself to feel happy every once in a while.
