This I can’t relate to

Online, “You can see someone on a boat. You can see someone skydiving,” says Kara Perez, the financial educator behind the sustainable spending platform Bravely Go. “That leads to these questions of, ‘What am I doing wrong that I can’t afford that?’ Or, ‘You know what, I deserve that. Let me figure out a way to achieve that’ — which usually means, ‘Let me put that on my credit card.’” If you see that the whole world has flocked to Europe, you may not rush to book a ticket, but you may do something small to give yourself an immediate dopamine hit — DoorDashing yourself an Italian dinner, for example, or buying yourself a swimsuit for future Sicilian sunbathing.
