Do I just need a win?
Sometimes we buy things because we just need a win. Nothing else is going our way. You got a parking ticket. You didn’t get the job you wanted. Your social media post got no love. You can’t find an apartment you like. Your manuscript got denied for the 100th time. “I deserve this” might be something you find yourself saying to yourself when you just need a win. But it’s not a victory if you can’t afford it. It’s truly a financial loss. There are free wins, like phone calls to friends who lift you up or even meditating on what you’re grateful for. Counting your current triumphs can make you realize you don’t need those pricey jeans.
