Anyone else get anxiety spending big amounts of money?

I’m getting my tax return and want to buy something with it but makes me anxious

What were you planning on buying?

Frugality is a virtue that most people would be envious of.

If you want it, have the money and it's not all of your money - buy it.

I used to worry about spending money, but now i consider myself affluent which came from saving, saving, saving and never buying anything. I realized that my life was lived saving away and missing out on the fun stuff, so i decided that i should live a little from time to time.

I'm extremely anxious about having any in the first place. I don't find society to be responsible with money at all, let alone individuals. We all want what we want & if it's remotely affordable I say go for it.

That said we just talked about how you might want a car more. I don't see any practical purpose for guns, they don't stop bullets or nukes after all. If you want to improve your trigger discipline that's one thing but I don't really see that as a function of hardware. 22s are just as fun as Howitzers if your grouping is any good.

I'll pick up a gun if there's a legitimate reason to but I don't see that as cause for owning any.

If your instinct tells you to buy it you will. Nothing anyone here says can stop you. That is the animal part of all us humans.

Personally I don't think you need a gun. But you know your situation better than me. If you feel someone is going to attack you then by all means, buy a gun.

But I thought you already had several guns. What is the point of one more?

Anxiety comes from fear of ending up homeless

And if it's cash, anxiety from pickpockets




Guns are expensive


Some gun stores sell guns on consignment

Less $$$

Used gun shop

In the state where I live, you have to keep the gun and ammo separately locked. In your residence or trunk of your car

It's been a long time since I wasted a lot of $$

Just in college

Rent, tuition, car, bike, clothes

Arcade, food,


Now I hardly ever waste $$ except bus and food

I get anxiety over just spending artificial currency in my video game.
