Bought a nice Sawstop table saw that I've been eyeing for years. I make good money, but have issues spending anything on myself. According to my therapist, it's from a fear of catastrophe. Even though I'm extremely frugal, make good money, and am in a better position than the vast majority of people my age, there's a constant voice in the back of my head telling me that I don't need whatever it is that I want to get for myself.

In moderation, that's a good thing, but I've taken it to a pretty far extreme. It legitimately stresses me out to buy something for myself that costs more than $15-20, even if I can afford it. I talked to my therapist about it, mentioned the table saw, and he suggested that I buy it. I talked to my wife about it, and she talked me into it, and I finally bit the bullet and did it. Definitely a luxury, but it's cheaper than a hospital visit to sew a finger back on.

However, I do not recommend moving it solo to prove a point. 450lbs is not light

Exactly. I'm not going to pay a fuckload of money for multiple streaming services only to still not see my fucking team every week.

While this is true, it's still better than listening to a bunch of recorders

I played violin in elementary school specifically to avoid being in the same room with people trying to play recorders. I'm aware that it can be played well, but it still feels like nails on a chalkboard to me, even decades later

I prefer to stay up late for the same reason. I am fully capable of waking up early, but I hate doing it. I wish I could shift my work day 4 hours later, or better yet, just build and sell furniture for a living.

Good luck on your tea shop!
