I have friends that maintain this habit of buying some stuff for themselves every pay day. I can't go along with them that often because of financial constraints. I usually buy my needs and set aside my wants. My friends told me that I have to treat myself first before anyone else especially after a hard day's work. It's some sort of a vent and releasing stress. I tried it once and I felt relief. I usually buy small and not so costly stuffs like a new bag, a new comb or a new lipstick. I just really don't indulge myself into expensive shopping. Im also thankful that I don't have a credit card. How about you?

Well, for most people they feel like they have to do that. For me, there are times that I feel this way but I know better. There are times that I would buy things for myself when I get my pay but I make sure that bills and savings money are covered already. Don't want to fall behind bills just because there is something that I want to buy.

good for you. it's always a good thing to see stuffs that are products of your effort. it's always rewarding. but there are times that i can't buy stuff and resort to eating foods that i like. after that i regret because my tummy gets bigger. LOL

i buy something for myself especially on paydays.i think it's my way of rewarding myself after a month's hardwork.it's also kinda therapeutic for me.lolz.like you,i usually buy small and not so costly stuffs,mostly clothes and bags.i'm not really into the signature/branded type.i don't have a credit card too.i think it's practical not to have one nowadays.

I do that every pay day. And I usually but clothes or shoes. But as always I will find sale items. HAHA!
I also don't have a credit card! GOOD FOE ME! Besides I really don't need that! Because my salary is OK! As in very OK! Hehe! But of course I am still working hard to get a better rate! I want an increase!
Happy MyLotting!

yes, sometimes i will. its very rewarding after you have been paid from your work, so you have to reward yourself also by buying something which you like or eating something which satisfies your tummy and tongue. you dont have to feel guilty at all coz it comes from your hard work at all

Yes i do buy something for myself during payday.
Im refering only for my needs. I cant afford to buy needs & wants at a time.
I can only buy my wants randomly...im refering the top 1 of my top 10 wants on my list.
I do have credit card, for wants only and limited use.
