How much is it appropriate to spend on therapy?

Posted by special_k on April 9, 2006, at 19:53:15

I mean... Talking in compared with income.

I guess it might be hard to figure...

I read somewhere that they suggest not spending more than 1/3 your income on rent.

But I guess it really does depend on how much money you are talking about...

But when it comes to therapy...
Is there something like that?

If you are looking at spending almost 1/3 your income on therapy... Is that too much?

I'm spending a little over 1/3 on rent.
But power / water is included.

I've heard it is possible to save the amount I'm looking at on the amount I'm earning (in the place I'm living). But the person who said that seemed to think that was in a good week and I've noticed that person really doesn't seem to spend very much at all...

And I guess it would mean I wouldn't be able to save anything (to travel around a bit and so on).

I dunno.

I guess I don't really want this to turn into people talking about how much their t's cost... Because I'm more interested in relative cost.

1/3 too much?

I think so. But then I'm not used to paying so maybe I'm just being cheap... Maybe I am... Talking about a specialist psychologist with experience with DID here...

BTW... That is her student rate...

I've emailed her back to tell her my income and to say that yes, I think it is looking cost prohibitive...

But I don't know.

Am I just being cheap?
