ZodiacZebra+FollowMy Income Jumped, My Spending Soared—Now I’m Torn! 😬💸This past year has been wild for me. I went from making $65K to $106K, and while my savings have doubled, my spending has shot up too. Suddenly, I’m eating out more, shopping for things I used to skip, and honestly, enjoying life a lot more than before. But here’s the catch: I feel guilty.
