Yikes, mine was 60k. Scorched earth. My brother....bought and traded FIVE cars in one DAY! I wish I could turn back time on that episode...but lesson learned.

That said, I have trouble seeing how you making a purchase is unreasonable or mania if your living expenses are covered and your debt isn’t high.

Unless they legally control your finances, I’d keep my shopping to myself. If you do need help in keeping an eye on spending...set your banking to limit cash access via your accounts. You can dump into CDs, mutual funds, auto deposit into a savings account, etc., and keep a readily accessible set balance in a checking account.
