UPSET
I AM SO SICK AND DISAPPOINTED IN MYSELF! I GUESS I WILL NEVER LEARN. I REALIZED YESTERDAY THAT I WAS RUNNING OUT OF MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?????????? WHY CAN’T I BUDGET? WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I AM ALMOST BROKE BEFORE I STOP SPENDING??????????? HUBBY GAVE ME PLENTY OF MONEY FOR THE TRIP. AT LEAST I THINK SO. SO TODAY I WAS VERY VERY CAREFUL. TOMORROW NIGHT I WILL STOP AT MY FRIENDS FOR TWO NIGHTS. I WAS ONLY PLANNING TO STAY ONE BUT WANT TO AVOID A NIGHT AT A MOTEL – ALSO I CAN USE A GOOD FRIEND TO HANG OUT WITH.
SO I AM AT THE MOTEL EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE A TON OF STORES NEARBY. ALL MY CREDIT CARDS ARE MAXED OUT ETC.
I MUST CHANGE MY WAYS. I MUST STOP SPENDING. I MUST BE MORE RESPONSIBLE.
(((((((HUGS)))))))

I feel ya, I cannot stop spending either. I had to declare bankruptcy and cut up all my cards, Now I only have my debit card and if that runs out I have NO money. My advice is to cut up all your cards exceot your debit card and pay cash only for necessities. Works for me!

I recognise myself in your entry. When an inner panic sets in it becomes a comfort to spend. Respect yourself and respect money then the spending becomes less. Also, please don’t beat yourself up over your spedning. Take it as another lesson along Life’s Path. You have good advice from the previous noters. May you enjoy the time with your friend and safe travelling home. Best, A

You will be ok. Forget credit cards…they are horrible awful things. They make you think all is ok when it really isn’t; been there, done that. I used them because we needed food, gas for vehicles, and bills paid but the reason doesn’t cancel out the abuse. I wish I could have cut those suckers up. It may take time, but you will be ok.

RYN: Oh yes, it’s making me batty. I’m not in the best place right now because of the stress invovled. I just want to drink myself a constant state. I know that’s not the answer and I don’t do it often but it is happenng more oftne that the norm. I don’t like it but I have no one in person to help me out other than Pete. How much of it shoud he bear?
