Ask HN: How do you change your budget around a big raise?
Recently a side hustle went from 20% of my main job salary to about 100% and has held steady at this level for 3 months. The actual increase in work is trivial.
Our lifestyle was already pretty comfortable and we were saving. I am struggling with how much of this extra cash we should feel good spending on unnecessary-but-joyful splurges such as fancy dinners, cleaning services etc vs how much of this windfall I should just be saving.
I grew up lower middle class and do not have a great financial background.
