Advice!

All seniors here please kindly guide me regarding a dilemma I'm facing.

When I first started my fragrance journey I was still in my home country living with my parents and did not have any major expenses by myself.

I used to work as well and study and I used help my parents with bills as well and then the rest I would spend on myself eg on a new fragrance. I had a collection of 5 to 7 designers back then.

Fast forward to 12.12.25 now I'm studying abroad and I bear all my expenses myself and still help out my parents when I can. However, I've seen a huge shift in regard to my mindset regarding buying new fragrances..all my fragrances are almost used up except for the Aqua di gio parfum ;( . I want to buy a new one but now I don't think it is sensible to buy 2 3 as they are a bit expensive here in EU as per my opinion and I have to also save for my own bills and tuition!

how do I go forward and have a healthy relationship with this hobby in a way it will not make me regret? I'm thinking about sticking to only 2 or 3 fragrances even though sometimes I get very tempted to buy a fragrance that I wanted for long time or that I used to like a lot!

Yesterday I tried out Juliette Has a Gun Ego Stratis and now I'm in love with it but it's 100€ for 50ml 🙃 ...

fy I'm 23 , a student nurse and I manage all my expenses alone .

Anyone else ever face such situations?
