Do you ever feel bad/guilty for doing something slightly luxurious?

Dunkin’ Donuts has this deal where it’s $2 for a medium cappuccino or latte. I recently tried it because...why not...and those are normally like 5 bucks at places sometimes.

Do you ever do something for yourself and feel guilty for spending money because it’s like you shouldn’t or can’t afford to? I’m doing a poor job at explaining it, but I remember reading about a woman who wasn’t very rich, though she always had her nails done. Like...yeah, we are poor and live paycheck to paycheck, but if you happen to have at least $5 or $10 left at the end, though you know you’re poor and can’t afford major luxuries, it doesn’t mean you want to FEEL that way all the time, you know?

Just wanted to know if other people ever felt that way, like if they do one tiny luxurious thing then feel bad because everyone is all, “well you’re not poor if you can do that,” even if it’s once. Maybe it’s an anxiety of self-conscious thing?
