If youre trying to save money, doesnt spending some on a splurge set you back?
But you dont need to spend a ton to celebrate your financial achievements.
A recent conversation on Redditsr/Frugalasked how people reward themselves without buying stuff.
Odds are, that monument, historic site or park doesnt even have an admission fee.

Sounds perfect, honestly.
