Coworkers Judge My $180 Monthly Expense 😰

Hey everyone, I really need some advice here. I've been working toward FIRE for years, and my coworkers know I'm usually pretty frugal. But there's this one thing I refuse to cut from my budget - my $180/month martial arts membership. 🥋 Last week during lunch, my colleague Sarah found out how much I spend and literally said "You could save over $2,000 a year if you just went to a regular gym!" Now the whole office thinks I'm being irresponsible with money. Some are even questioning my financial planning skills, which is affecting how they see my work. The thing is, this isn't just about fitness for me. Those classes give me the mental clarity and stress relief I need to actually perform well at my job. But now I'm second-guessing myself. Should I cave to the office pressure and switch to a cheaper gym? Or stick to what keeps me sane? 😔 Has anyone else dealt with workplace judgment over personal spending choices? I'm really struggling here and could use your thoughts. #JobCareer #Career #WorkplaceStress
