I have a friend that I think lives large. She works at walmart and is always telling me well I bought this and this and this. Well low and behold she is now hugely in debt and is having to dig herself out of a hole. I can't do that and I find myself wanting to be able to do that. I grew up in a home that had money so I was used to that and then when I moved out it was a big shocker to have to make my little paycheck stretch. I found myself wearing my uniform pants to church because they were kind of dressy. I now get excited when I can buy something on clearance. I had a situation where my dad gave me some money for clothes and instead of going to the expensive stores and buying just a few things I went to Walmart and bought a bunch of things. When I get my next installment of my clothing money I plan to do the same thing. My mom and I will go to Fashion Bug and to Walmart. I find myself missing my old lifestyle and then think well I have more than some people do so try to quit thinking about it.
