Lately I have been on a spending kick. For so many months I had less than no money in my account and was working to make enough to pay my bills. Now as my account builds a little more and I know that I will have enough for my bills as well as some left over I get it in my head that I need to spend money on random things that I want or think I need.
I moved back in with my parents last fall because with a job change I was no longer able to afford to live in my apartment. Shortly after that I spiraled into a deep depression as a result of many factors which in turn led me to impulsively quit my job. I was actively looking for a job for many months and now as referenced in my post I love my job! I have found one! That is obviously great but now after so many months of not having anything to spend on essentials or nonessentials I have been fighting and loosing to the spending monster. I am adding to a savings account regularly and paying my bills on time…but those material things that bring me such a serotonin boost are difficult to ignore.
I am trying my hardest…okay maybe not my hardest to stay strong on the saving train while allowing myself a few things here or there. I keep telling myself that saving now will bring me the big things in the future that I really want. It’s just hard to beat that instant satisfaction of a new piece of clothing or more skincare. (Two of my weakness)
If anyone has any tips on saving money or resisting the buying bug I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know in the comments!
