Desperation forces rational people to act irrational
If you can tell yourself you don't want something because you believe it's bad for you, when the real issue is you can't afford the treatment, it hurts less emotionally

Honestly not much generally, life is for living, I'm privileged enough to be in a decent paid job that affords me that luxury. Though if I'm on a run of not saving for a few months, it's time to find something to dial something back a bit, because that's a sign I'm potentially living unsustainably
