I know this will sound stupid but does anyone else feel guilty about buying themselves nice things ?

For me, no for the big things: vehicles, motorcycles, vacations, etc. But, for the small things, I've been spoiled by 'treasure hunting' at Goodwill. Now, for example, when I see new socks selling for $20, I think 'no way'!
We can't have nice things. DW is constantly pointing out why.
REWahoo and I may be married to the same woman. My DW often tempers our purchases.
Yep, DW tempers our purchases by frequently pointing out, "This is why we can't have nice things."
What happens to your nice things? Kids or grandkids? Pets? You?
I volunteered around needy folks for a long time and will always feel that “ there but for the Grace of God, go I”
I feel guilty with a new car and we will soon look at pickups to replace my 2004 Highlander. My only other crazy fling is to buy the softened cream cheese instead of the block type.
We will probably leave a lot of money on the table....
I wouldn't say I feel "guilty", but I always have that internal conversation with myself about "Do you really need it?" And What if you need the money later for something important...?
