If you make $20/ hour, that night out isn't $300, it's 15 hours of your time, or 2 days of work.
If you make $20/ hour, that car isn't $50,000, it's 2,500 hours of your time or 357 days of work.
Framing purchases in time instead of dollars will help you make better decisions with money.
Always consider opportunity cost.
Time is your most valuable asset, use it wisely.
