I say if you aren't struggling financially at this time, then enjoy your new shoes/outfits. Even so, there is an amount of wisdom that needs to be played, money or not. For the fact that you're aware of your spending habits, I think you've got the idea of what you need to do as far as scaling back, perhaps. It's like our diets....you know you don't want to go back to the old you by eating the wrong foods, etc. So, you're doing everything right this time around. As for spending habits....would you want to go back to where you were before? If not, then be a good steward of the money. LOL Sorry to sound so hard and preachy, I believe I'm talking to myself at this point too.

I was spending way too much time in clothing stores a couple months ago. Had to distract myself from going there, and start looking around for other projects/hobbies. The house is in need of a bunch of TLC, so that's my new time/energy/money sucker. The house has gotten into a state that should keep me busy for, oh, the next couple years at least! Lol!

@Newme17 preach girl 😊 That is exactly what I needed. I know all of this I just needed someone else to help rein me in. I am blessed because I could afford to purchase everything I bought, but that is no excuse. I still have a mortgage that needs paying off.

No more clothes until Christmas time. That is my goal. I will stay out of the stores and off Amazon.
