fidgiegirl thinks this list seems like it's someone else's - it's been too long!

follow the steps of Your Money or Your Life (YMOYL) (read all 22 entries…)
have been doing the questions and realized some things

I see I haven’t made an entry here for 5 months even though I have continued to follow the steps. I have been focusing on making my entries in “spend less than I earn,” which is related. However, today I did my monthly questions for May and realize that I’ve been spending a crapload of money on groceries and on restaurants. I need to stop this. I know what the problem is; I stay at my boyfriend’s and don’t want to feel like a mooch, so I buy him groceries sometimes. But I think I go overboard. Same with restaurants. I think I might even pay more than half the time because I’m trying not to seem greedy. So I’ve told him I have to stop going to restaurants and stuff so much, but then I suggest we eat out! What a dork! This is the second month I’ve been noticing this to be a problem. I’m really going to work on it this month.

I was thrilled to see someone else working on YMOYL...

I love that book. I read it years ago and worked my way through the exercises and it was incredibly useful. I plan to try it again, and may be consulting with you in the near future. Thanks for your cheers.
