i only get mad when manic. so i guess just time, otherwise ill just take what i want.

i clicked this thinking it was something else. i hoard money, cause im always paranoid that something is going to happen, and ill need money to fix it. im told counseling will fix this, but i dont want to pay... (^_^) seriously though...

spend it like it is going out of style...just ask my 2 ex husbands...it can be anything, groceries, clothes...today it was back to school supplies and clothes for my kids...
oh yeah and a new handbag for me...

with all my money, all i got was this clown

Oh geeze, I woke up this morning thinking on this same topic only slightly different. I am going to post that thought shortly. Yes, I spend money but I spent it all so now I waste time. My credit cards are all maxed out, I am behind in utilities. I have 900$ in my wallet that needs to go to the bank pronto for vehicle repair so I know I cannot spend it. My vehicles are both on the injured list so I cannnot really go to spend money except to buy groceries and even then I spend too much. Can't help that....prices are out of sight, freaked out over the price of a bottle of cooking oil. I stay the hell out of walmart, I too, can go for 25$ worth of dog food, shampoo, tp etc and wind up spending close to 200$. I give the 25 to my daughter who works there to pick my stuff up, get the 10% discount and saves me a bit of money.

time mostly, but mnoey I have too, and not noticed I was doing it until after. (not noticed it was a problem that is)

I can spend hours dazing around Wally World and not buy anything. Or, I can spend $$$ in just an hour on nothing.

All depends on how much $$ I have and how useless I feel.

I only spend other peoples money good old Uncle Visa what a guy.

i spend spend spend...groceries, workout stuff, stuff for kids, why is it that spending money is the thing? i know it's the rush, the feeling...but why does it have to be with this??? sometimes i think it needs to be something else...does that mean that my binge eating replaces the spending when i don't have money? when i get like that then an anxiety attack hits me and then i'm even worse..lol

Good subject! I used to go out each and every Saturday morning to home improvement stores and stock up on projects that I had to do. I mean 10-15 each Saturday. Of course, I did not have to do anything. I was just making it up in my manic head. And I had written lists and lists of things 'TO DO' on top of the stuff I bought.
Then when the mania ended I had piles of lists that just depressed the heck out of me.

I have since learned not to spend unless I research and plan on FINISHING the project asap! I still have problems with lists but it is getting better, a little. I basically write down 3 items MAX I would attempt to do, order them 1,2,3 and only attempt those. Else it all just comes crashing down on me as yet ANOTHER thing in which I feel like a failure.
