<prompt> Human: Im 18 years old and have always been careful and conscious about my money. Its something Ive proud of myself for but I wonder if Im driving myself crazy a little.Ive been working part time pretty much since the day I turned 16 and have saved a little more than 11,300 to date. I am happy about the fact that I save at least 90 of what I earn, and almost hate to spend money.Unfortunately, the only thing I cant control myself with is phones.. So 40 a month goes to a payment on my iPhone X but thats pretty much it. I figure if thats the only thing Im wasting my money on thats probably pretty good.My only other large purchase was an 1100 laptop 2 years ago that I take very good care of and have no plans of replacing until I run it into the ground. Once again, being very careful with money i bought the refurbished base model. Nothing too fancy and it has worked fantastic for school. Anyway, the other day I decided to order some AirPods. For those who dont know, they cost 159 and in my state they were 169 and some change after tax. They work great, have always had fantastic reviews, and I can use them at one of my jobs to make it a little more tolerable. I figured that theyd be a nice treat. Well for some reason I drive myself crazy about this and get anxiety over spending all that money. Even though its only an average of half a week of work, I still get worked up about it. When Im usually super excited for packages and stuff coming in the mail, I barely even wanted to open the box. I had trouble sleeping and was just kind of gloomy and guilty about it. Something Ive never felt so strongly and I dont know where it came from. It came packaged with a return label and Im considering sending them back. I hate that I go through these phases. Right now writing this post, I realize this is kinda ridiculous and Im listening to music on them right now very happy. I just look at my bank account and think, well damn I wouldve had X amount of dollars if I didnt spend that 170. Anyone else do this? I know 170 is practically nothing to most people but right now it seems like a lot. To some of you guys my whole life savings is pocket change, and I hope one day Ill be in the same situation and look back and laugh at this. Do I send them back and do whats more financially practical, or just try to enjoy what Ive earned? I need to find a balance. Is this normal? Thanks  <response>: Youre falling into the trap of working to save and saving to save. Do you have any goals for the money that you are saving? car, college, etc. ? If not, then once you have your emergency fund sorted out and a reasonable cushion, there is no harm in spending. If all you do is work and save all your money - youll eventually get sick of working or saving and one will change drastically. Think of the 170 and the Air pods as a treat. You worked hard for a month, saved a bunch, so you let yourself enjoy the fruits of your labor. And since you have done all the right things with regards to the purchase read reviews, did your research AND will make working a better situation, TREAT YO SELF
