I blew around 4k on travel in 2019 and 2020. I blew another 2k on SCUBA gear and training. My only regrets are not spending more on gear that would be easily repairable so I wouldn’t need to buy a new set and not buying a much better camera.
My wife had passed away and I didn’t know what to do. My only emotion was pain and sadness. I had a little cash left over after her memorial and cremation. Nearly everything was impulse at that point.
Sorry to hear that. Honestly in that situation impulse was probably a protective mechanism driving you to go somewhere else to give you a break from the pain.
Sometimes just going back to a normal routine after losing somebody who’s always been part of that routine can be one of the most painful and difficult parts of mourning.
For sure. We had one of the AMC Theaters movie pass things and I couldn’t bare to sit in a theater to watch it. The only thing that got me up and out of bed in the morning was her dog. I still have boxes with some of her things in them I can’t go through that were packed up when I moved 5 years ago.
