spend less money per month

dammit this is not working at all….for the month of october, i spent over 300 on food and misc items…omg wtf. i’m not even a shopaholic i swear…it’s just that sometimes i don’t think things through and purchase items on a whim…uuggghhhh so bad.

I’ve already spent $100 for the month of June….oh my god. Please stop me. I don’t know why I do it. I like to buy things that I want even though I know I should save my money for more important things…essential, necessary things that I take for granted (like toilet paper for example.) UGH. I don’t want to be in debt like one of my friends…That’s just terrible. I mean, buying things I want makes me happy, but not having money makes me depressed…I really have got to stop.

I spend about $300 every month on miscellaneous things, which is like my whole paycheck (from my part-time job.) I cannot believe it! $300 is like my pocket money, but this cannot continue. Next year, I’m going to be living off-campus and the rent itself is going to kill me. I’m going to need money for groceries as well, so I can’t afford to go to the movies, shopping, etc. anymore. I’m going to set a spending limit for myself (and that includes credit cards!) I wonder how much I’ll need to spend on food? Maybe $200 per month? Or $100, if I starve myself….sigh
