I cut up all of my credit cards, so I can't go deeply into debt - and keeping a roof over my head & food in my stomach is something I enjoy.

I'm really careful with money since we lived near the poverty level for so long. Most of the time I'd just go to the dollar tree and buy a few things. Really the only thing I buy online is eliquid for my vape and I wait till the sites have sales and buy enough for a month cause it's cheaper than going to a store. I don't really look at much shopping sites online. Every now and then I look at the torrid website and see what's on clearance and decide their clothes still aren't practical. haha.
I've gotten so used to not buying stuff for myself it doesn't cross my mind a lot. I barely buy clothes. I just wear the same stuff over and over that I've had forever. A lot of the stuff has paint on it or holes, but I don't really care. I'm not out to impress anyone. I'm more likely to spend money on my husband or dogs than I am myself. Yes, sometimes I go to the dog boutique and drop $25-35 on dog treats at a time. lol. Hell I feel bad about going to the coffee shop every day and getting a tea and muffin even though it gets me out of the house.
