<prompt> Human: I never touch my savings account. I view my monthly auto deposits as a bill since after my money goes into savings I dont touch it. Thats the mentality I have with it. Well as you can probably guess, its starting to bug me. I make minimum wage and Now I have 2 grand just sitting in an account that I groomed myself to stay away from. I feel like if I spend my savings on something big, well now all of my time and work put into saving that money is gone. Example: I want a new bed. I have a full and I would like a king. The cheapest I saw was about 500. Theres probably cheaper deals, Im not done shopping. But it just got me thinking. If I took 500 out of my savings then 25 of my work is gone. 100 a month is 5 months of saving Id have to do to recover. I saw a comment on this sub saying something like you can truly afford something if you can buy it twice. Well I can afford it since I saved that money, but I cant get over the thought of spending 5 months of work. Am I Over doing it?  <response>: With only 2k in the bank sorry, but that really isnt a lot of money, a functioning full bed, and a desire for a bigger one ... I would really, really just keep the money in the savings account. Perhaps over the next couple of months try to put aside 100month in your savings account as usual to continue to build up your savings, plus 50-100 extra so that at some point you have saved up 500 extramore to buy the bigger bed.
