100 agree  also goes along with self acceptance and not feeling the need to justify yourself to others including the internalised critic that weve got questioning our judgement  i used to use a decent coverall that i kept with the painting stuff and i noticed i got on with diy tasks and didnt wreck my clothes with paint no longer have it wanted to order a replacement but i could hear that voice in my head saying  youve got loads of old clothes you could change into and your supposed to be on a budget what the hell are you wasting money on that for  but you are right its much better to be realistic and budget around that i know it will pay for itself  how do you know which things are actually going to save money and which ones are just justifying buying stuff that you want though thats the tricky thing for me i just got a smartwatch  to improve my productivity and time management  and dont know which category it falls in yet
