my first weekend…

I had a pretty lowkey weekend that was still expensive. I needed groceries and I spent $40, then  I needed a few things to replace in my kitchen another $30 (we’re up to $70 now). I stayed in on Friday but still managed to spend $25.  went to 2 parties in one night and didn’t spend a dollar (still up to $95). then  a friend came over and in a flash $40 was gone on take out and libations. the weekend was full of strange drama, maybe I spend to counter the stress I’m encountering in my everyday life. what’s if that’s it? what if I spend in as a way to alleviate stress? nah, it can’t be that simple.

so far, since I’ve started this crusade to manage my  spending I’ve spent over $20o. and nothing really to show for it. I’m returning some of the beauty aids I purchased on Thursday. frivolous things that I don’t need. maybe I need to start approaching my personal life in the same way that I have to approach my finances. I need to be more selective on how I invest both my money on anything or my time on people. my inability to walk away from faulty investments and I’m losing my valuable time and money. maybe I’m bad with money because my whole outlook on life is screwy and skewed? can it really be that deep though?
