I've spent the majority of my life worried about my finances and behaving with extreme caution. These days, it's not that there's no real need to worry, it's just that the immense threat of losing everything no longer looms over me. So if I see something that I want, and it's not really sensible, but not really outlandish...well...I buy it. Like seriously, 60% of the time, I buy it every time.
Don't worry, my credit card debt is less than 4% of my annual income. It's just that my savings is about the same amount. But you should see my collection of shoes, lingerie, and beautiful picture frames filled with smiling faces and memories. The first one and the last one are all over my apartment. The middle one I tuck away.
The reality that this isn't a good long-term strategy is clear to me and I'm slowly changing my tune. Why's that so hard, though?
