Dear Zach,
I am neither a big spender nor spending on unnecessary thing that absolutely bring no benefits to me. I have always been living in frugal, except when comes to my fitness and health aspect, I am willing to spend more on that. It is part of an essential aspect of life to live better for years to come. I wouldn't like spending on garments or shoes or anything. If I were to come to the state where I needed to spend on these things, I would choose the most affordable or the cheapest one as long as it does it job well.
I don't know what comes over me last few days. I feel like a switch inside of me flipped. I decide to start a collection of "Trading Card Game" of a specific genre - think about Pokemon Cards but it is not pokemon card but something else similar. I want to own a collection I love about. Rather than buying its toys in which it holds no value in future, I've bought their card collection instead. I go to Shopee and start browsing for affordable price packs to check out.
Two days later, they arrived to me in small boxes of plentiful packs of cards inside. I am so stoked because I just am. I start cutting off the top of every packs and shuffle the cards, trying to pull the rare cards out of dozens. I don't want to think so much about it. I just want to enjoy the moment being a child again. I've gotten a good amount of pulls in getting rare cards. I love everything about it. I carefully slide them one by one into the card album in neat and perfect order. After I am done, I move away and take a good look of the collection I got so far. I love it!
This is the best RM800 splurge I've spent! Not even a seep of regret come to my mind.
In the end, I just want to start something that I enjoy.
Probably I am just lonely. but whatever.
Do and buy what makes you happy. Life is way too short. I've sunk a ton in to gay porn and fine writing instruments. I always was the spender when I was younger and my brother was the saver. Now I am enjoying watching my savings grow and it can't grow big or fast enough for me. It makes me happy to reach savings goals and provides some security as well. As long as it's nothing that hurts anyone, not illegal and brings a smile to your face I subscribe to the Nike slogan of Just Do It! :)
