Got a Huge Raise, Now I'm Battling Lifestyle Creep Temptations! ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ’ธ

Hey everyone, So, big news: I just landed a massive raise at work, and now my partner and I are pulling in $230K a year. At first, I was pumped, but lately, I've noticed myself justifying little splurgesโ€”$100 here, $50 there. Itโ€™s like my brain is telling me, "Go ahead, you can afford it now!" I never really worried about lifestyle creep before, but this new income has me second-guessing every purchase. Iโ€™m honestly stressed about letting my spending spiral out of control and losing sight of our long-term goals. Has anyone else faced this after a big raise? How do you keep your savings on track and quiet that voice that says, "Treat yourself"? Iโ€™d really appreciate your advice! ๐Ÿ™ #JobCareer #CareerGrowth #MoneyMindset
