<prompt> Human: Hello all, Im a frequent lurker in the sub, and it has helped me set a budget for myself. A little about my financial situation:23 yr old, 83,200K salary before tax, paid biweekly.My monthly income is around 3580 after retirement 12 of my income healthcare deductions from my 2 pay checks except for 2 months a year where I get 3 checks. My monthly expenses I budget to around 2400, leaving a little under 1200 per month in savings. My monthly savings breakdown to: 460 to my Roth IRA 600 to an Ally E-Fund although this has become more of a long term goal savings account now as I have 3 months of expenses and great job security 150 to Short Term Savings, linked to my WF account for quicker transfers if needed acts as my christmas fund at the end of the year.I recently spent approximately 500 this month on a trip this upcoming summer for my SO and I. However, in doing so I went way over budget for myself for the month Im not going to be able to make my total savings goal for this month. I keep kicking myself mentally saying this is bad, but some of my friends have said that I shouldnt feel bad about it because I earned that money and it should be a really fun trip.My question is, when it comes to large purchases like this what do you all do justify it. I can afford it, but I feel like I cant. ya know? Thanks RedditTL;DR Went way over budget this month and feel a lot of self guilt. Seeking advice.  <response>: Dont forget to enjoy your life. Its all about balance.
