    Sophia, thank you, I NEEDED to hear all the stuff you're saying in this post.

    I'm usually the same way, in that I have the same phone I've had since I was 18, no camera, just about never go shopping (although I have been buying rollerball perfumes at Sephora more than I should have been, lately...).

    When I first started dancing, my old 2001 civic finally broke down and I had to get a new truck (which I just got in a fender bender with today and am castigating myself over as we speak. Ugh.). I also am having to move out of a terrible but very cheap living situation into a new and better but much more expensive apartment soon. I feel like these expenses should have only made me pinch pennies harder than I normally do, but for some reason it now seems like money is just flowly freely through my hands. Part of it is that I no longer feel comfortable cooking in my current living situation, so I eat out all the time. Nothing expensive, just deli sandwiches etc., but still, it adds up.

    So, basically, I NEEDED this money pep talk to get my priorities back on track.

    I guess my main point is this:

    Just because you make more money... doesn't mean that you need to spend more money.

    There is something to be said for living beneath your means... regardless of how much you're making. Just be sensible and don't deprive yourself unnecessarily.
