I think it's important even if you're frugal to have at least ONE "luxury" indulgence (couldn't think of a better word). For me, it's sushi. I only eat that about once every other month but it's soooo good. I'm even tempted to take on a part time job to feed my addiction lol. What's your ONE "luxury" indulgence?

New cars... I like new car smell. Sure I try to justify it's better because I can control the maintenance, and 0% interest is nice... but driving a new car off the lot is still flushing 3 or 4K down the drain everytime I do it... and I've been doing it every 5 years or so.

Just ONE??
Having my hari professionally done at an Aveda salon every 8 weeks is my biggest indulgence.
Starbucks a couple of times a month for a girls' break is my second.
A new outfit from Anthropologie once or twice a year is my third
