Hello Shopping Problem!!!

I HAVE NO MONEY....SO WHY AM I SPENDING IT LIKE IT'S MY JOB!?!?!??! haha This is what goes through my head at night after the high and excitement from buy new clothes or food hits me...

I really feel that I don't have a "problem" yet, I am definitely much better then I used to be with money! I actually have a little, and I repeat LITTLE, bit saved this year haha. (Does $5 count?) There are just so many cute clothes! I know that when I'm older I am going to wish that I saved more, but I also feel that while I'm young I should make the best of what I have because I can't be selfish my whole life, just now while I don't have a family to think of. At least this is what I tell myself to make me feel better about spending. I actually don't even have that many clothes, I lose them all the time I feel! Like it stresses me out when I see a picture of myself and think HEY where is that shirt!!?? I hate it when that happens. What I need to do is throw out more clothes that I don't wear anymore. That is a huge struggle for me as well. Kristyn, think about it, YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO BE THAT SIZE AGAIN...so give away the high school clothes!! Stop with the...but one day this might come in handy at a costume party? EXCUSES! haha I can't wait to havea full time teaching job....I will be making twice as much!! Hello more savings (slash a few more clothes!) ;)

In the laughter of it all, I have excellent credit! Yes I spend a lot, but I always pay my bills on time!! My only problem is I need to save more. I went shopping with my friend Laura and her new man in DC the other day to shop for a dress for Foxfield...I came back with 4!! 2 potentials, and 2 others I just liked haha. I was in a good mood I guess, usually it's hard for me to find dresses I like the way I did that day! (Let's remember 3 were from Forever 21, a store we do not have in C'ville) I have made the great decision to take back one, the most expensive, and get my money back. It was 70 dollars with is a lot but I thought I could wear it to my brother's graduation! (Don't know what I was thinking, I am on party set up duty while the graduation is going on so you know I will just be drinking at the HUGE beach house instead!) In my defense the other 3 dresses were super cheap! That is one thing I am good at. I don't normally spend full price, I am a bargain shopper by heart!

All in all, I think I should take a step back and think about what I am doing before I spend money. Moving out of my parents house has helped me get a grasp on the world of paying bills on my own. I look back and wonder how I spent so much money when I lived at home to have nothing saved, while now I pay rent and other bills and have the same income. hmmmm Ahh the little things in life...omg on a side note of ADD, my hands look wrinkly...gross do hands wrinkle with age? haha wow.
