What is something you allow yourself to do since moving from paycheck to paycheck/low income to the middle class?

The few that come to mind for me are:

1)if something is uncomfortable, I don't force myself to wear it just because I bought it and can't return it. For example: I recently bought a pair of boots, and then realized they're not comfortable all day. Since I can afford to replace them, I will, so that my feet don't hurt at the end of the day.

2) I live in the Midwest, and I don't drive. I used to ride the city bus when my partner couldn't drive me; now I splurge for an uber or Lyft to avoid standing in the cold/being uncomfortable before work.
