if those are useful items but more of wants rather than needs, then it should be ok?

I realised I’m making quite a bit more purchases to make myself happy. It’s not splurge for sure as I can well afford, just that they are more of wants than needs..

Is this normal to behave like this?

my “stress” I believe are covid 19 side effects, making life a little more tougher
Yes I fully feel the same. I bought Slippers. What did you buy ?
