Last week I left a great deal (realised later) for Rs70 - total value was 8700 I thought competition would get me less, but they, in fact all crossed 10-20k
This is not the first time I'm making dumb financial decisions
Money was a concern earlier, but not now, at least not 70 rs concern
How to shake off this save-every-penny mentality
Is ka koi ilaaj nahi hai. It never goes away. It's DNA and you need to be hard-coached to spend more.
Look at the majority of Indian Boomers who lived their best years through the 70s / 80s - the trauma of living through the after effects of Nehruvian socialism ensured that they're mentally permanently mired in the scarcity mindset and even when they have plenty of money they have no inclination to spend it and no idea of where to spend it.
Not to blame them, but boomer parents have raised their kids in same way
You teach what you know.
It's not a bad state to be in imo, you're prepared for the worst. Anything you do is an upside.
You are penny wise pound foolish. This has got nothing to do with middle classness
