Is your holiday the only exciting thing in your life?

The longest trip I’ve ever booked is a few weeks away now and it’s given me a chance to reflect on how I used to prepare for holidays:

1. I wouldn’t look at my wardrobe, decide I need entirely new outfits and go high street shopping to spend £100-£200+ on ‘holiday bits’

2. I’d avoid my daily habits, waiting for the holiday to be the thing that makes me feel better

It’s part of a vicious cycle that kept me in consumer debt, in a scarcity mindset and most alarmingly… nurtured a life that I convinced myself was worth ‘escaping’ via going on holiday.

The worst part is that I know I’m not alone in feeling like this.

So let’s talk pre-holiday spending and life routines.
