It's official...I went two whole weeks without overdrawing my account! Not sure how I did it, but I did. Its so nice not giving like 1/3 of my paycheck to the bank. Ha Ha, the Fremont National Bank Christmas party will not be on me this year. Suckers!
I'm trying to be a lot better with my money but its so hard. I totally fell into my old habits last night when I took my mom to Wal-Mart. It's probably one of the few places she can go with an oxygen tank and not feel out of place. I started grabbing things left and right. I fought with my mom in the cosmetic isle, like I probably did when I was younger, because I really wanted some eye firming cream and she didn't think I needed it. I was like "are you serious! Do you see the lines I have under my eyes!" She shook her head and I put it in the cart and said "I will think about it." I don't know why I do this. I know I am going to purchase it when I get up front. I think it just makes you feel better and it at least allows me to enjoy my shopping.
A billion dollars later, or at least it felt like I spent that much for what little I got, we left wal-mart. I already had urges to go to Wal-Mart again the next day(which is today!), when I officially have money in my account. I think they must put something in the ventilation system. Or maybe I am just addicted. Maybe I will write a Wal-Mart addiction self help book and audio CD's. I could introduce others to the vast other varieties of discount stores.
Chapter One: You can overcome your addiction
Chapter Two: Discover the joys of Big Lots
Chapter Three: Let "Everything's a Dollar" Store get rid of those dollar bills you have laying around.
and so on...Cant give it all away! You will have to wait for my informercial!
