hey Liz, I.m sure most of us are in the same boat from time to time. That time to time may be more often for some more than others. I can suggest that you try giving up cards and debits and try living with cash only. It dosen’t always work but it will change how we spend. Money is tangible and when its gone its gone. cards just let u think there is money when all there really is, is more dept we have to pay off. I love to shop but instead of going to the name brands I now go to value village the charity stores and its so much fun leaving with a great find like toys for my grand children. They are so happy getting little treasures and I love the fact that it cost me a fraction of what it could have cost in regular stores. My daughter is on board too and we have a ball shopping with each other. One example is I bought a Mcstuffins specialty doll for 40 and ended up finding one out of the box in perfect condition for 2 dollars and gave it to my other grand dollar and she was thrilled to have it . Its a challange to not gamble every day and I think about it every day. I love it so much that if i could I would live in a casino. I wish there was a way to just print money and have it be available when ever I had the urge. No money tree in the back yard though. Toooo bad. Thank goodness I have no access to money for now. Chin up and enjoy life ok
