It is OK that you do not have money now - if you plan to buy something in the future, put it in a spreadsheet (sharing with the bf if he'd like to be included), research prices online, compute budget, etc. It would help alleviate rumination and might even turn out to be practically helpful.

Yeah, just north of NYC -- still expensive. You have to pay to pay to live.
We will definitely have to come up with a budget once we move in, I think in the first week.
I told him about what I did this summer, and told him that he might have to take my debit card away from me when we're living together if it starts happening again. That's one of the things I'm afraid of, since I do go through periods where my spending just kind of explodes. I can't do that if I'm splitting rent with someone, but I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself since it tends to be compulsive.
