How to Spend Money So It Makes You Happy

I'm trying to spend my money on experiences, but the Playboy bunnies won't return my call.

They might if the price is right.

I'm trying to spend my money on experiences, but the Playboy bunnies won't return my call.

The bid ask spread is too high.

I've always (even in pre-FIRE days) allocated some for "cool stuff", "fun stuff" to make myself happy. It doesn't have to be expensive, but just for stuff I like. (For example, today I bought myself a retractable mouse for my laptop. Only about $10 but pretty nifty). I compare this approach kind of like if one goes on a diet, one still needs some allowance for dessert. Not in excess, but some.
