OMGosh, I have spent just a ton of money this past month or so.
I wonder if this has to do with me stopping Risperdal and making me more impulsive?
Anyways, I eat out almost every single day and order expensive stuff like $7 smoothies and $4 lattes. I've been spending about half my paycheck on just food!
I've gained 5 pounds since stopping Risperdal.
Then there is the non food spending. I just impulsively bought a white 32GB ipod Touch from Apple on their once a year sale day (Black Friday). It wasn't even marked down by that much, only about $30. I did not plan on buying it anytime soon. It just sort of happened. I just saw the minutes click by inching closer to midnight and I pulled the trigger.
Then just today I went to the mall and bought these two self heating heat pads for about $100. I had just thought they were cool before and decided I wanted to get them. When I saw the price tag, I was taken aback by how expensive they were, but then decided, what the heck? Just charge it on the VISA lol.
I have definitely spent more than my paycheck for this month. I've spent so much that I actually need to dip into my savings so that my checking account doesn't go under the minimum balance for waiving fees.
I'm taking steps to remedy the situation though. I'm going to work 6 days for a while to earn more money. Hopefully then I can go back into saving again.
