Well, I gave it all up and haven't been spending
 (well honestly, it's more like  for me and for my husband), but everyday is like Christmas. Today I got the coolest watch ever, earrings, and sandals in the mail. What will I do when the stuff stops coming? Here's hoping things SSSLLLOOOWWW down instead of getting worse. Hehe!  Seriously, I might not like me or my head or my actions most of the time but I love my life. I wouldn't change it. Since I'm afraid my mood has gotten me here, I worry.

Oh yeah, and tomorrow I am taking my niece and my daughters shopping for my niece's birthday. I am taking my debit card with me. I'm taking them to lunch and to the mall "on a budget"? Can I do it? We really don't have money for me to spend. My hubs sold a car recently and that is the ONLY reason we have extra money and now some of it will be used on the credit card debt I have acquired. Should I dig a grave in advance? Seriously, should I trust myself? What can I do to make sure I don't overspend tomorrow since I am still in hyper spending mode (trust me--I have been online all morning picking out pearl rings for my aunt to secretly pass on to my mom for my birthday--I am ridiculous!)? My eyes are on fire.
Today, as I was driving down the road (in a tshirt, ballcap, and no makeup--with 5 kids in the car, no less) I felt that every guy that saw me wanted meI don't feel sexy like that often. I like it!  Could it be the new watch?  I don't know. Could it be a new tailspin? I don't know.

Take only the amount of cash you can budget to spend tomorrow. Leave your debit card at home.

I love reading these posts because I could write most of them. I'm still receiving packages with junk I ordered when I was unwell ( but feeling great! ) and it was totally my can do attitude that attracted everyone.
but also yes, take cash and your id to budget that's a great idea. |

Take cash; leave the debit at home.

Take cash.... Sad thing is you are going to be a total wreck when you come down and realize all you have spent. Please return as much as you can.

Give your credit cards to hubs
Give your debit card to hubs. Work out a budget, example: we have $50 extra every week. Take it in cash. When it is gone, tough luck Start putting your coin in a piggy bank When it is full, change it into paper money and give it to hubs to hide somewhere This is your emergency cash Keep filling up the piggy bank You can do it!!
