I'm not even a bad spender or anything, I'm actually stingy at points. I'd say that I'm really responsible with my money now but back in the day I used to blow all my cash on video games and then after the fact I felt really guilty but now I don't do that anymore, I only spend 25 percent of my money on games so I have more for other stuff I might need or just in case but I still feel bad about spending that money. Like I just bought Disco elysium for the first time and it's dirt cheap now and it's halfway done downloading but I feel bad for spending that money even though it's my money that I earned and it is well within my spending limits which I set but why do I feel bad about it then? Is this what they call socialist guilt even though I'm not socialist, I feel its a similar sentiment.
Anyone else feel this way? How can I stop feeling guilty for spending my money within the spending limits which I set for myself

Adam!
i always feel bad spending. i put alot of my money into saving (75%) because i feel like i dont need it. even with what money im left with, i still feel bad for spending it because i feel like i should save all of it. im trying to break out of the habit and be more okay with spending money but i just dont think i can do it. i like having lots of money to look at in my bank you know?
That's true, it's nice to have and you never know when you need it

i felt like this all the time, even when i was buying food. and it didnt matter if it was my money either. i think its caused by the fear that one day you may not have any money at all, so you wanna save literally every cent. i got over it by reminding myself that even in times of not having money, im still a person and its not wrong to want to buy things you enjoy from time to time!
Thank you
