what to buy with sugar money
Hi everyone, I just wanted to share what I’ve bought with my sugar money and what I think the best use of sugar money is.
It’s a rookie mistake to buy lots of luxuries when you first become a sugar baby. I’ve certainly made this mistake. My first month of being a sugar baby I bought a $300 Prada wristlet, $200 of MAC makeup, $300 of luxury bedding, some designer dresses…those are just the biggest things I can think of. I was constantly eating out/getting takeout, always ordering the most expensive wine the place offered.
I don’t regret buying these things because I learned from my mistake. But I’m glad I learned because now I feel more secure. Why is it a mistake?
Come month 2, I was asked to leave my apartment by my roommate (it was his house, granted…) and I had nowhere to go. On top of that, a drunk driver totaled my car while it was parked. I had saved the majority of my allowance this month (mostly because I couldn’t think of what to buy!) and I had gotten spending out of my system. Luckily I had the money to put a deposit down on a new place, pay for half of a used car, and buy myself a TV for my room. If I had spent the way I had the month before, I’d be screwed.
Since then I’ve used my allowance for groceries, a George Foreman grille, dish soap, toilet paper, swiffer wetjet fluid, and more. I’ve only splurged on a bluetooth speaker, which I use daily in my car and room, much more than that prada bag!
I don’t put this under luxuries or necessities because it’s somewhere in the middle. It’s necessary for a sugar baby and a luxury for vanilla folk. What I’m talking about is hair, nails, skin, and even makeup.
This is an absolute must for an SB and it must be budgeted for. $150-250 a month for hair, if not double that if you get it done twice a month. $50 a month for acrylic fills and french tips 2x a month. $50 for pedicures 2x a month. However much you spend on your skincare, I spend relatively little a month since I use expensive Lush products that last a long time. But still, expensive.
MAKEUP in my opinion “luxury” makeup is a must for an SB. If you’re lucky you can get your SD to buy you this stuff as a gift or you’ll buy through Glambot, Poshmark, or another discount site. But the foundation I use is Lancome and costs $50 a bottle for example which doesn’t even last a month. I also use $30 self tanner and don’t get me started on the rest of my makeup products. You want makeup that’s going to last you all night and hopefully to the next morning if you’re doing an overnight. You don’t find that shit at the drugstore.
student loans or not, you want to save so that if you lose your SD or something else happens (drop your phone, your laptop dies, lose your job, etc) you’ll be okay. You should be saving at least half of your allowance a month in my opinion.
