Ever since I got a job I have had some issues with money. No, not debt related issues, spending issues.
The problem is if I have money I will spend it on food and clothes I don't need. How can I stop this viscous cycle? Make a savings account that I can't touch? I don't know but I will try everything in my power to make this summer all about saving. I will try to eat food that is in the house and wear the perfectly great clothes that I have. My constant need for newer and "better" things is quite annoying. I know I don't need anything, but wanting something bad enough kind of takes over my rationale. I think I spend money to fill a void. I couldn't tell you what that void is, but it think it is that same void that I try to fill with eating food. What I need to do is just not worry about it. Let things happen as they may and keep living.
It is a beautiful memorial day, sunny and 75. And I have to work. But I am in work mode for the summer. I have a love-hate relationship with work. I hate how busy and stressful it gets, but I love the pay off. Seriously, the money is ridiculously good. I am so lucky to have this job and I get to come back every summer. I hope to work full time into the fall and the winter. Here's to making tons of moola! and saving it...
Short post today because I had to do the millions of dishes in the sink and little chores around the house before my mom comes home today from visiting my brother in VT. Have a happy day!
How do you save money?
What do you do to curb your spending addiction?
