Enjoy and don't think about it.As long as you can afford it.
We did the same to see Joseph in the West End in London.Took first class tickets by rail bought the best seats..This was a few years ago not the current Joseph.It remains a memory I treasure.The lady beside us obviously rich had jewellry on that I have only seen in shop windows.
You cannot take it with you.
My aunt helping me buy a special hat..which I loved but felt was too expensive gave me this advice.
"One wet monday morning when you are home with children and a pile of laundrey and things feel low ...You will remember this hat and smile." As good a bit of advice as any other I have had. Mountain ash

LOL My husband's aunt says " money's like manuer, don't do any good unless you spread it around". My thougts,,,, a good splurge here and there makes it easier to tighten the budget later, without feeling put out about it.

When expectation is greater than what is delivered, then I know I spent waaaaaaaay too much for a show. I have bought expensive West End tickets to shows that have disappointed me soooooo much that even a tuppence would have been far too dear and a waste of money.

Scots are known to be "canny" that means careful with the pennies.It is a stereotype from days long past when a bad harvest meant starvation. But thrifty is another word used.Meaning careful. I have always had a slush fund.I save all the change in my purse in a tin.To lighten it.I also keep 20p coins seperate so maybe twice a year I bag up this extra money. To use on treats and to treat others.My husband tell me it is elastic money and magical.Because anytime I splurge on a treat I have the excuse that its my slush fund. Fun and long may I be able to do this. Mountain ash
