It's nearly payday and i am again thinking of what to treat myself when i get my pay. I always do that as a treat to myself for having worked hard the past 15 days. But, it's always food i would like to buy though. This time, i would like to eat the spicy, crispy chicken at a popular fast food! Do you do the same too?

Hey simplyd, yeah I treat myself too but i get paid every week lol. So every Friday I pay what I need to pay off and then I know the things i want and if its very expensive I put the extra money on the side and let it build up until I find something I really want and buy it treat myself I'm not. Munched I love technology and so I just need to buy something that is tech haha that will always make me very happy.. Lol

Techie things are expensive for a treat. So, it's much better to have foods as my payday treat. But i admire the way you save for that much needed treat. Keep it up!

Me, I only buy a tops/blouse for myself, the cheaper but good quality. That's only thing I can buy cause I have a very small salary. Last payday I bought KFC for me and my bf but now I run out of budget so I can't really spend more on treating my self .

Like you, my budget is only for foods as a treat to myself. It's cheaper that way. Sometimes i would buy a half gallon of ice cream and take it home for me and my husband to share while watching TV. That way, i got to treat myself amidst having to allot a portion of our salaries for our daughter's schooling in college. Though sometimes, i get to buy also a new blouse for myself too as a treat. Makes me so happy and inspired to work.

Yes, i would usually allot a certain amount every payday for the treat to myself. Sometimes though, i would include my husband when i eat out. He would ask, "what's the occasion?" I would just say "treat to myself". Then he would buy a gallon of ice cream when we leave the restaurant.

I do not have a pay day per say as I work for me. But when I get the additional earnings I do like to treat myself to something nice to eat also. It is like a tad of a bonus for a job well done. Enjoy your next treat and keep up the great work!

Yes, we have to give ourselves treats also. That way, our tiredness from work is compensated.

How lucky you are to have that much money without even working for it. Also, how nice to have that money, without sharing in the expenses. So who spends on the everyday foods and needs? Given your case, everyday is a payday treat.

Wow, how kind of your husband to do all that and give you extra money for yourself. You were right in sharing them to the poor. Keep it up!

I used to do the same before. Its too bad that I do not have a job now but it has always been about food during these kinda days. Buffet restaurants was the usual hang out for me and my buddies back in the day. It has became a monthly event. It was always a competition. We always compete on who will have the most plates of food consumed. At times, when alone thou, I just drive around and have some good times by myself.

Try to get a job again so you can do the payday treats again.

I am for a job interview tomorrow. I really hope that things go as planned. I applied for something I do not know much about but I'm willing to risk it. These days, people are desperate to have a job. As long as it pays well, I'll take it.

I totally do the same thing just in different aspects. For example I'm a cam girl who gets paid every two weeks. when I put my all in those two weeks Im super bored of working, tired, exhausted and what I do to liven it up is go to my favorite hotel which has a jacuzzi suite that I love and its pretty affordable. I go there order room service and work from that room its great because its like this big party and well its nice and relaxing and fun to be away. I don't feel guilty because I'm working and I get to be excited about it.

I think you deserve a treat! You've worked hard and obviously held off on treating yourself until Pay day. I like to treat myself too. I do it whenever I have some extra money. For me it's always different though. Sometimes it's a food treat, other times it may be clothes, jewelry or a new purse! I love treating myself with new, girly things!

It's a nice feeling when we have treated ourselves from working hard. Yes, sometimes i do treat myself by buying those things you mentioned also. But usually i would buy those things that i have a need for a new one.

my kids are picky eaters but they tend to eat a lot when they are in a fast food chain. As much as i want to treat them daily, it's possible since it would burn a hole in my pocket so a payday treat is always a practice.

Treating them everyday will really drain your pocket. The children will also not be able to distinguish it as a special treat if it's everyday. So a per payday treat would be something they would always look forward to.
