I'm looking at new TV's but I struggle buying anything that's super expensive. I'm a massive movie fan and I'm in a position to buy a nice new TV.
But the main reason for getting a new TV is for the FIFA world cup. I really want to see Messi scoring goals in 4k hahaha.
Is there a way people like calculate what they can afford. I feel like I'm scared to spend any money having been brought up by a single mother and a brother - we never had much money. I now earn a good salary and no debt and my outgoings are moderate per month, I'm not a big spender.
Since January I'm saving $100 per month for my TV fund, so I have like $1,000 saved and I can put some more but again my point is that sometimes I feel scared of a big purchase.
