ONE love, blood, life
I know we had a similar thread like this aaaaaaaaages ago but:
Are you like this?
I am, and I mean a LOT...........I would buy books, magazines, videos (at a reasonable budget price if possible), food, a lot of comfort thangs really then feel very very bad afterwards.......Its like, this feeling of 'I just spent that money, what if it was pointless?' I even feel this way after having to fork out near 5 quid for a single!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ridiculous really, but any others out there like this?
I tink its down to the fact I never put it towards decent clothes, in fact, when it comes to clothes I would never like buy jeans over 40 quid....or a jumper around 20 quid that is a bit shapeless or texture is shite.....of course, it depends where u shop, but I never splash out more expensive for better wear................its not that I hate clothes shopping, though it can be a curse finding stuff if nothing you sling on you look good in immediately (Grr for tall models....
..)......its more of, u can find a lovely skirt or trousers and u KNOW u'd have to buy 4 or 5 more things to match up with it....I hate that soooooooo much.........like, I do have the money, but I think for like 100 quid I'd rather have variety to basic mix and match than pairing..........anyone else the same? U know - I tink to meself 'Theres no fuking way Im gonna get a one/two colour match bunch for over 100 quid!'
And I never get a lot of petrol at once, therefore prob wasting more money.
And I never so much as saved a lot for clothes or new car.........which has not helped one bit...........now I've left it too late, I could be carless for at least 2 months, because ordering next week could take weeks....my fault, but Im prepared to take the result.............
Basically, I hate the way I shop, I am too spontaneous and when I spend spontaneously I waste half and use half......................so IS anyone out there like me?
Mum has asked me to learn to save and draw out a list of how much and what I spend on....but I've been like this for years, sometimes its contollable, but 70% of the time its not............

I guess, "luckily", I've got two weeks of unemployment checks left, so that's curved my spending off to nothing of late. 
I felt so bad going back to the place of the original purchase....even though they could read on the receipt I had just bought it like an hour before
....and I'm a shopaholic. 
I swear, I could have a freakin house by now if I had socked away even half of what I've spent over the years. I also worry about retirement, if I'll have enough to live on...and being over 40, this looming financial scenario scares the bejeesus outta me.
