Adding a +1 to this, same situation. For the longest time, I had to keep a running totall in my head, down to the cent, of the few things I put in the supermarket cart to make sure I had money to pay for them.
Life has been kind, and gradually things got better and when it sunk in that I was OK was when I realized that at some point I had stopped counting the cents.
Nowadays I treasure my time and my wellbeing more than money - I won’t do something that takes away from that, even if pays more.
Clearly there’s people who won’t stop at a billion dollars, but for me, the freedom of adding whatever I want to my cart without having to think if I can afford it is all I need to live a happy life.
