As a mindfulness practice, detachment is realized day by day. That’s tough when your pride is in the mix. However, it’s far more empowering to let go. You’ll know that you’ll be more than able to withstand any negative outcomes in the future - if they even happen, of course.
Hopefully, mindfulness will show you that it’s best to spend your extra income on things that bring you more than a moment of joy - the one nice vacation over many pairs of shoes that you barely wear, for example. It’s different for everyone, and it’s all based on the value it adds to your singular, unique life.
