This YouTube video ("Black tax and self care" by Ndubuisi 'Andy' Egwim, uploaded Dec 11, 2023) discusses budgeting for mental well-being and allowing guilt-free personal enjoyment. The provided transcript excerpt advises allocating a fixed percentage of income for self-care, and contrasts low-cost pleasures (walking on the beach) with higher-cost indulgences (expensive bags), emphasizing the need to indulge occasionally to avoid burnout.
But part of making sure that your own mental well being is secure is having some budget for yourself. And if you're able to allocate a fixed percentage of Lactox, you're not going to feel so bad or so guilty to have some guilt free enjoyment, whatever it is you, you enjoy. For Some of us walk on the beaches just as nice, but for some other people, they've got to have that expensive bag. I mean, so. Or whatever.
Yeah, I totally agree with you. I mean, sometimes you just need to indulge yourself too. You can't just be working around the clock.
