I'm broke as hell. Why did I think I was entitled to so many subscriptions? Like I'm too good to watch commercials. And why did I still rent movies instead of using the goddamn subscriptions?
Junk food too. Some months I spent over $50 just on chocolate.
And then I had the audacity to be worried about money. All while I was wasting it on so many things I didn't need, that often had free or much cheaper alternatives.
Has anyone else reflected after cutting down on expenses and realized you were kind of entitled?

Have you heard about the concept of bread and roses? I think calling yourself and potentially others “entitled” because of small “luxuries” is unfair when those are things that make life enjoyable. (Luxuries is in quotes because if it’s helping your mental health, is it really a luxury?) What’s the point of saving if life is miserable?
Taking a look at exactly where your money is going is so eye opening.
Given you’re looking w open minded curiosity.
I mean this just sounds like you should be more cognizant of where your money is going. Its not really entitlement, its more about looking at how much you are spending in entertainment each month and then bringing it down to a reasonable budget. People are allowed to have some subscriptions and pay for rentals, but just dont go overboard
This isn’t entitlement. It’s everything being really fucking expensive.
