Spending Habits…Can they Change? Really?!
To shop or not....hmmmm
I woke up this morning feeling horrible. I have a headache. No energy. I need a couple of items at the store and have a strong temptation to drive there in my pajamas. I have seen people at the store in pajamas and wondered what they were thinking. Normal clothing choices were too much trouble is probably where their heads were at and this morning I have complete empathy with this position.
And then there is the Sunday Morning “the bastards aren’t broadcasting the game I want to watch” issue. Very frustrating when your favorite team is 16 and 0 and the pundits are predicting defeat today. How can my Colts win without me watching? My head hurts a little more. I hope Peyton feels better than I do today.
Normally, when I feel this bad, I reach out to the shopping gods for some comfort and this morning was no different. I fired up the ‘ol computer and opened Craigslist. The result was weird, though. I couldn’t find anything that I thought would make me feel better. Shift to Ebay. Same answer. Could my habits actually be changing? Or is my headache just really bad?
I scooted over the Spendster.org to watch some confession videos. Spendster is a great site for a little antispending therapy. They have videos from folks trying to change their own bad spending habits and a calculator that shows what your money could be if you hadn’t spent it on something foolish. It’s a great little slap in the head when I feel the spending bug trying to come on. Worked like gangbusters. Now I don’t even want to go to the grocery store.
So maybe my habits are really starting to change. Maybe I’m starting to walk the walk in my heart as well as my head. And if I can do it, there’s hope for anyone who wants to stop wasting their money, and living with debt. I think I’ll fix some soup and take an aspirin instead of buying a car or something. Yep….that’s definetely the better choice.
