For the past few years we've been struggling financially. Bh we've been able to afford life but with scrimping and very careful budgeting.
For the last 8 months my husband and I got great paying jobs and finally we're living comfortably bH!
Now this season is the first that I can buy whatever my heart desires, and I find, interestingly enough, That I have no desire to spend on things that I used to want so badly.
I have three little girls and love shopping, I looking at a Shabbos dress that would be $195 each and I can comfortably afford it, but the thought of spending this much money on one Shabbos dress is so absurd that I can't bring myself to check out my cart 
Is this what my mature feels like? What's going on with me?
In the past I would've certainly bought it and scrimped somewhere else to make it work.
So weird.

I can also afford it but I can't bring myself to spend these prices. I don't think it's maturity, it's just that you and I value the dollar we work so hard for.

wow good for you! I definitely call this mature!
I'm around 30. The wealth im davening for didn't arrive yet,but I can't get over how good hashem was that he didn't give it to us the past 10 years. We were both immature and probably would've spent on the most ridiculous things and earn a name of wacko ppl...
Thats real chizuk op, that it can still arrive one day, hopefully soon!

We can bh afford the insane prices, but I can't bring myself to spend $200+ on a children's coat. Even the thought of it is painful. I don't spend on clothing.
