Spending money

[MrsNutkin]

Sorry about the awful title.

I reduced my working hours ready for Uni which has left me with a lot of time on my hands until 23rd September when I'll probably have too little time.

Anyway, I've been spending lots of money, money which I don't really have. It's not THAT bad at the moment in that I know I can pay it back but I'm worried if I leave this to continue it will get to the stage where I am totally out of control and unable to pay it back.

I'm not really sure if there is anything anyone can say. I just need someone to understand I guess, my boyfriend seems to think it's really simple but the urges are bad and so it's not all that easy

Thanks for reading,
Sarah

My husband is addicted to spending. It sounds silly but we really need to be careful about it so that we do not go into debt.
Umm.. my purpose for replying is hopefully so you know that you are not alone. It can be a big problem. My biggest suggestion (if you want one) is keep your credit cards/debit cards/ bank cards at home. Tally your bills so you know how much you can spend on other things. Only take out a certain amount of cash from the ATM each week and force yourself to stick to that being your spending money.
I know if you are a spender it is hard for other people to relate to relate to those spending urges. I didn't understand it for awhile.
Best of luck and PM me if you need/want to talk about it. :)

I take some time to consider if I really need something, or even if I want it enough to spend the money. It will be there if I decide.

However, that said, do not let me lose in a book store.
