I decided two years ago to stop playing things so safe and waiting for the "right time" for things. The right time doesn't exist and you need to just do the things you've wanted to. Obv doing things should be done responsibly. I got to events that I probably shouldn't spend money on and got back into horses when I was barely able to afford it. I can still only barely afford horse stuff but ya know lol. I make some bad financial decisions, but they aren't any that would ruin me. My stepfather hasn't tried doing things he's always wanted to do and is a miserable man who works, goes home, then sleeps. He used to have many hobbies but claims money is keeping him from doing fun things... It isn't though (in his case) and people can still do fun things on a budget.
