Oh my gosh, reading all of this is just. like. me. I can't save anything because I spend all my spending cash on coffee drinks or makeup or treats for the dog&cat(they have their own cupboard for all their stuff!)
When I was 21 to 25 I danced in an upscale gentlemens bar&made about $75,000 a year. And I have NOTHING to show for it. Luckily(I guess) my credit sucks so I can't get a credit card. I would end up homeless! But when I feel manic I spend money on stuff I don't really need&don't think about it. Then later when I realize I have$1.47 for 2 weeks I get depressed. I'm going to make sure I bring this up at my appointment Tues.
Hopefully we can help each other out and keep our habits better controlled! Its hard but we can ALL do it!
