People say these are their favorite ways to treat themselves, for cheap
These days, the internet is full of advice about â??self-careâ?* and â??treating yourself.â?* But not everyone can afford a spa day or a fancy new toy â?¦ at least without some serious debt involved.
So if youâ??re not a high roller, what can you do to treat yourself while staying on budget? Thatâ??s a question a writer who goes by â??theo_dxâ?* asked on Reddit this week. He described himself as a â??broke university studentâ?* and said his main splurge is eating out on campus once every two weeks. â??I think at all ages itâ??s important to keep up a balance,â?* he said. â??Iâ??m curious to know what other peopleâ??s â??treat yourselfâ?? purchase is?â?* </p> Answers poured in. The most popular one was from a commenter who goes by â??iammaxhailme.â?* His answer: doing nothing. â??Itâ??s just staying home and allowing myself to neglect the s— I have to do for a day once in a while,â?* he said. â??I agree with this,â?* another user said. â??â??Treat Yo Selfâ?? for me is taking some time to forget about work and life and just play some Zelda or watch YouTube.â?* Another commenter said she has a friend who has three kids, and for his birthday, he asked to do nothing. â??As in, a day to himself, to sit at home.â?* A user named â??justamiddleagedsoulâ?* said thatâ??s his dream day, too, plus â??a case of apple cider.â?* (Theyâ??re not the only ones craving some â??me time.â?* More People are dining and traveling alone, research shows.) Not everyoneâ??s dream was to embrace their inner sloth. A user named â??Chris_Moynâ?* said once a year he splurges on an item for his wife. This year, his present will be new countertops. And several commenters weighed in to say improving oneâ??s home is actually a wise way to â??treat yourself,â?* since it will likely pay off down the line. A few other suggestions: subscribing to a community-supported agriculture (CSA) box, which delivers fruits and vegetables once a week. Another: coffee and apple pies from McDonaldâ??s MCD, -0.28% آ* (although to be sure, that might not always be the healthiest splurge). And a commenter named â??MDPlayer1â?* said he subscribes to AMC A-List AMC, -4.01% آ*, which costs $20 per month. â??As a writer, I really love experiencing stories,â?* he said. The service allows members to see up to three movies every week. Another commenter said their biggest splurge is owning a pet. The commenters may be onto something with their cheap treats. Researchers have found that higher salaries contribute to more happiness, but only to a point. The ideal income for individuals, to reach peak life satisfaction, is $95,000. And for emotional well-being, the ideal salary range is $65,000 to $70,000. There are even apps that allow people to rate their purchases, to decide which ones truly bring them joy, and which end up feeling like a waste. So, what rates highly on your own â??treat yourselfâ?* list? What simple pleasures did the Reddit commenters miss? Get a daily roundup of the top reads in personal finance delivered to your inbox.
