Flawless
One of my weird flaws as a person is my inability to spend money. Now this probably doesn't sound like such a bad thing, but it really is for me because it can get absolutely ridiculous.
The only things I can buy without feeling terribly guilty about it is gas and food because I have no choice really. I'd also pay bills if I had them. Buying anything indulgent is often difficult for me though. Even buying items such as shampoo, face wash, make up, etc is hard for me to justify...even when I need them!
What I tend to do is tell myself I can buy something when my next paycheck comes so that way I save more money. The problem is, I'll keep pushing this back further and further to a point where I simply don't ever buy anything for myself.
For example: I'm going to have a chance to buy an iPhone soon and I'm already stressing out about how I'm going to afford it...which is silly because I can very easily afford it! I don't have to pay rent and I save a good portion of every paycheck into my savings. It'll be no problem to buy an iPhone! Yet I've been treating the situation as though it's going to be incredibly hard to afford it, oh no what will I do, I can't let that money go!
It's certainly better than overspending. Also, I feel like my savings is really meager considering what a miser I am, but that could just be me.
It's going to be really hard for me next month seeing as I can get my iPhone at the end of March and two games I want are coming out (Dragon Age 2 and Medieval Sims). I need to tell myself to shut up basically :P.
