stop being a shop-a-holic

i’ve always been a shopper, I guess. In high school it was CD’s. In college it was belly rings, H&M clothes, and funky jewelry. Now it’s probably ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING I can get my hands on. Fitness stuff, clothes, handbags, shoes, jewelry, beauty supplies, gifts for other people (I LOVE THAT), ITunes Music, groceries, magazines, books, and on and on. Online shopping has become one of my best friends (as I hate going into stores). My husband is NOT at all pleased with me, and although I have tried very hard to budget myself and write all my expenses down, I still seem to go overboard every month. I seemed to have wound ourselves into our Savings account (eek!) My husband has instructed me to TRY not to buy anything for the next month. And I’m going crazy!! Worst part—I work in the fashion business. It’s part of my job to look into the latest trends, and styles (Aaaaack!) Shopping is like my stress reliever and my high. It’s really a sickness I don’t know how to stop.
