Feeling guilty about material things

Question

I decided to do a general cleaning of the house and my closet para makahanap ng madodonate. When i started getting the stuff out, I realized how much I’ve acquired through the years. I feel so guilty buying all these things tapos ngayon nasa closet lang because we don’t go out anymore at hindi na siya nagagamit. I even have clothes bought pre-pandemic na hindi pa nasusuot. Kayo moms, do you feel the same way? How do you discipline yourself sa pagbili ng mga gamit?

me too.. as a mom-to-be I am learning how to control my luxury expenses para pag labas ni baby, needs niya na ang priority.. Right now I am torn between purchasing a perfum that I really wanted vs. Saving the money to buy more baby stuff, but more likely I will choose the latter. Mahirap since nasanay ako to buy things na nagugustohan in an impulsive way nung dalaga pa ako pero ngayon na may asawa't magiging anak na, dapat babaguhin ko na kahit pa may trabaho pa ako..

When i was earning, i buy everything i need and want. No guilt feeling cause i worked for it.. i reward myself generously. But after becoming a parent and now we have this pandemic, i learned that every penny counts. I should first double triple check if what i want to buy is a necessity. For now no more mommy stuff. Our purchases is more of baby’s and house hold essentials.
