<prompt> Human: So, a little background. I am 19 years old and almost out of college with a little over 13,000 in savings and absolutely no debt. While on paper this looks fantastic, I feel like I have a huge problem: I cant spend money at all. If you saw me grocery shopping you would think I had absolutely no money. I generally eat rice, inexpensive chicken breast, potatoes, etc and I dont EVER eat out or get fast food. This wouldnt be much of a problem as is and could even be considered healthy, but I will often times go without meals if I forget to bring my own food to school out of fear of spending money. In all, I feel like I have all of this money and good fortune but I am not able to spend money in order to live to the fullest at my age. When trying to seek help on the internet, I cant seem to find anyone with a similar problem, as it seems that most individuals have the opposite issue. So with that said, what are some steps that I can take to repair this unhealthy relationship that I have and start enjoying the money that I have worked so hard for?  <response>: Most people dont budget out of fear, and end up overspending because of it. You underspend because of the same fear.So make a budget, and include as part of your budget fun money. It can be something as small as 1 of your income. Even 5 or 10 should be no big deal and still allow you to save. Regardless, if you have your money budgeted so you know where its going and that you ARE saving money every month, then you will feel a lot better about being able to spend your fun money slush fund.Youre mortal and although its extremely unlikely youll die anytime soon, the reality is that any one of us could die on any random day. You dont want to be 80 years old and living penniless on the streets, but you dont get bonus points for dying with a huge bank account either.
