I found handbags... I love 'em!

Try to stay away from anything you have to sign for, and try to deal only with cash... keeps us safe because if we don't have it in hand, we won't spend it!!!

Retail therapy can be fun, if you limit yourself and stay within your allowance for it.

When I read your post, my first thought was 'taper off', Dear Person, you can do it.

One phone to a person, one landline to a household, is my personal rule for me.
Try this on for size... and if you believe it ... enforce it in your own actions.

What do you believe is best and affordable for your situation <>

I feel better about myself when my actions line up with what I believe is best for me.

I wish you no more cell-phone-itis!

Just think of the money you will save by reversing this - and I know you will because you acknowledged the issue !!!!

You know, sales people treat potential clients like gold, and who doesn't like to be treated nicely... but it is for the duration of the sale mostly.

Once someone realizes they should have said 'no' because they cannot afford it, and then goes back to the company, it has to be hard to resist the hook they use to stay with the sale.

But, you can change your mind, and in some cases, in the tiny print, the return and cancel policy is written.

Although they are hard to enforce - just to get past the pleasure we are taking away from a salesperson - we owe it to ourselves to get ourselves 'free', even if we made the mistake ourselves, we can make it right.

Worse comes, try and find an advocate who works for consumers, free of charge, to get released from these contracts with minimal charges!

Once you go there, I'd think, the lesson is learned. And one has found enlightenment from all things cell-phoney!

Best to you always PTS,
Your Friend,
Night
