I have an extra $200 check in my pocket, a graduation gift from my Dad. The question is, do I put it towards something needed, like new shoes and/or more work clothes, or do I put it towards something completely fun and frivolous?
If I put it towards the fun stuff, what do you suggest?

I think it kind of depends. How hard have you worked lately and do you need that little something extra? Are you in bad debt (like I am?) and this could really help out the finances?
It can’t hurt to splurge on yourself though.
At this point, we’re finally getting our finances under control (it’s especially nice that I have an actual paycheck, something I didn’t have for the 1st half of the year). We’ve got a coffee can full of spare change labelled as “new apartment fund” and we’re saving up for security deposit on a new place.
I guess the big sticking point I’ve got with this money is that every time I’ve gotten gifts of money over the last 3 years (birthdays, holidays, etc), it’s gone straight to bills, and even if I put it aside so that “this year I can spend it on me” it would end up used to pay off something else. So now that I’ve got this extra wad of cash, I’m really itching to spend at least some of it on myself for a change.
Of course, I can tell that Eddie is completely annoyed that there’s now an extra $200 in the house and I want to spend it on myself for once.
I think you should spend it on yourself or even a night out on the town for both of you. I spend too much on myself and Erik never really buys himself anything.
