Hello, everyone, and welcome back to an all-new episode

of the Financial Confessions.

It's me, your girl, Chelsea Fagan, founder and CEO

of the financial diet and person who loves to talk about money.

And something that a lot of you guys have been asking us

to talk about on the channel are kind of complicated relationships

with spending and overspending.

Now, for a lot of us, what we actually spend on

is going to look very, very different.

And there tend to be a lot of like really one size fits all

maxims about like what spending is OK versus not OK.

Like you can spend on experiences, but not on things.

Or like, you know, especially things that tend to be fairly female

coded get very easily dismissed as like completely irrational spending.

Like a woman spending on makeup is bad, but like a man having like multiple

motorcycles, that's just what he's into.

And at TFD, it is worth noting that basically any spending

that is meaningful to you, that is useful to you,

that's got a very good cost per use ratio that

fits within your budget, et cetera, like all of that

is great.

Spend on what makes you happy.
