My husband takes care of alllllll the money issues here paying bills etc . So i rarely have more than maybe 20 bucks on me at any given time, also living out the middle of no where helps because im still having trouble driving due to SI, hallucinations visual and auditory ( at times)

Do I have moments where if I had access to money would I spend spend spend .. HELL YES !

A few months ago i finally talked my husband into my getting a Kindle ... Im an avid reader (when im not hypo or fullblown manic of course haha) There are tons of free books to download and so many others are .99 to 1.99 .. my daughter gave me a 100.00 gift card sooooooo I have been able to " spend " what feels like alot but in reality could be 5.00 Yet have 15 or 20 + books to read . It takes the edge off of the speeding sprees for me.

As far as my husband having control of all the money ,..It pisses me off royally but thats for another post .

Everyone has given great ideas on how to help everyone with "retail therapy"
