Got a Huge Raise, Now I'm Battling Lifestyle Creep Temptations! 😅💸
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 splurges—$100 here, $50 there. It’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. I’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"? I’d really appreciate your advice! 🙏
