Agreed, Steve – that’s a pretty big leap. I really like your suggestion.

Perhaps binge drinking was an extreme example. I think in my mind, when I considered ‘free spending,’ I was thinking more along the lines of your ’4b.’

Thanks for clearing things up.

Seems like there should be something between “things that make life worth living” and “wasting money on binge drinking.” Or maybe life enhancers should be split into 4a and 4b -
4a) Non-essential, but aligned with my life passions (e.g. travel)
4b) Non-essential, not aligned with life passions, but brings pleasure into my life nonetheless (e.g. dining out)
