Have a great time and don’t feel at all guilty – as you said, that is why we budget in the first place!

I agree completely with this. And I’m going too!!!! I mean, seriously, when will you ever get to see Paul McCartney again? And will I regret spending the money? No way! Several years ago John Meyer came to my town and Maroon 5 was opening for him. I adore them both and am still kicking myself for not scrounging up some cash for that concert.

Occasionally you need to spend $$$ on yourself in order to remind yourself why you’re saving. I know that’s kind of strange way to go about it, but it’s kind of like working constantly and never taking a break, what happens? Burn out. Enjoy your concert and the time together.
