When you're frugal like me, spending money makes us anxious and feel guilty. It’s hard to spend more on things - even when you should.
When is an item worth more money? We often settle for the cheaper version of the thing we want; sometimes that's fine, sometimes it's better to spend extra. This video will show you OTHER qualities you should be considering when deciding on buying the thing you really want, or the thing that's good enough. I just spent $100 on Lush shampoo bars because they're worth that TO ME. (everyone has different values)
If you're making more than a living wage, there's no reason you should skimp on high quality items that you can afford! So get the good stuff you beautiful, rainbow unicorns!
(This is not an exhaustive list, just some ideas for you to consider)
