Comment on YSK that you can/should budget yearly for long term purchases
tomi000@lemmy.world 6 days agoThought so. Didnt want to sound judgy or anything, many people arent lucky enough to “learn about money” growing up and it sucks. Good for you to be able to afford more than you need for survival now. Dedicated cash pools for your goals or eventual replacements are a good step forward especially for people who arent used to having “spare money” and tend to spend it immediately.

Yeah, lots of people from my background are sensitive about it but honestly, nobody around me understood money and therefore couldn’t have taught me. I knew very little about money until later in my adulthood and at that point I didn’t have more than I needed. Now I have a little bit of excess and managing that has been a great learning experience.
