<prompt> Human: Im 19. I used to be super good about saving money and not splurging. Id rarely spend money on anything more than my bills, and would save the rest. I had this perspective that I just couldnt see buying things that I really didnt need. However, a couple months ago, I needed to buy a new laptop, and it seems like I havent been able to stop spending since then. Ive discovered so many things that I want and feel like would make my life better, and they usually do, but theyre still not really things I need. I keep finding more things that I want without even looking for it. I dont know why I want to keep buying things so much now. Heres what Ive bought over the last few months that are not things I regularly buy: Laptop iPad Pro returned it after buyers remorse 300 headphones 100 DAC 100 amp Phone case Backpack Water bottles A CDCurrently wanting to purchase in the near future: Cologne Weightlifting shoes Headphone stand New phone Id sell my current phoneNow, a lot of these things were useful and made my life easier. I definitely needed a new laptop. My old phone case was falling apart. I didnt really need a new backpack. My old one did have a rip in one pocketsection, but it still worked fine, but the new one is much more useful to my needs now, and I use it everyday since Im in college. Most of my old water bottles were broken. However, I definitely didnt need to buy the headphones equipment even though theyre much more enjoyable than my old ones. I didnt need the CD when I have Spotify Premium. I dont need cologne, but Id like to smell good other than just smelling like soap and deodorant and noticeably good. I dont need a headphone stand, but itd make my headphone setup more organized. I definitely dont need a new phone, as I got this one new for Christmas, so it should last me at least another year and a half at the minimum. I dont need weightlifting shoes, especially when theyre so pricey, but I think theyd be very beneficial considering I go to the gym 5 days a week minimum.I guess I just need some second opinions. Am I splurging way too much on things I dont need, or are these purchases just built up from the past few years that Ive pretty much bought nothing? Keep in mind, I havent gotten anywhere close to being in debt. I still have plenty saved. I just feel bad for buying so many things and spending so much money. Am I right to be concerned?  <response>: Make a budget. Your budget can include a line for big purchase items that rolls over each month. When you have enough saved in that category, go buy a big purchase item you want.
