haha I know, it works for me is all. Plus I also wanted to point out that it is easier to buy for others, your kids especially. What are we teaching our kids though? Everytime mom takes us to the store we get something...it is hard to break that cycle, I know I definitely feel the wrath of it now. Then when you stop because you seriously can't afford it the added guilt lays on your shoulders because you aren't giving your children something that would make them happy...something they are used to. You aren't teaching your kids good money skills, I see, I want, I get...life doesn't work like that obviously. As I am typing I am really realizing the error of my ways...maybe these postings actually do help teehee.
