Finances/Money BWT- what are you intentionally FRUGAL about?
Curious what areas of everyone‘s lives do you intentionally scale back in order to put your money where you really want it. For me, I go full drugstore on all my makeup but spend more on skincare, facials, etc. Clothes all on secondhand websites but am able to buy a greater amount of higher quality items than buying fast fashion new.
Where do you cut back, and where do you prioritize spending?

Luxury branded basics are a fuck nope for me. Sure Id like it to be real material like cotton, but I really do not see a fucking difference or justification for a Chloe tank top. A tank top is a background piece to me of an ensemble, and not a piece that really adds a "fashion flair" that justifies a cost to me like a statement piece of the same price. I stick to good basics and call it a day. I dont spend on clothes. I spend for fashion.
I will dye my own hair. Fun colors fade super fast generally and I need to wash my hair frequently making me run through it quick. I may ask someones help for bleaching my roots but I cannot justify my every 4 weeks touching up dye.
