Of CC Woes and Guilt-free Shopping

OK now. This isn't something new from me. And the way I've been spending last year, it's not surprising I am again on a tight budget as I need to relieve myself of credit debt. I'm no sorrier than I was before. I feel worse cause I haven't learned any lessons on spending. I'll have to apologize to my stomach soon since I can't be pigging out every chance I get from hereon. But here's an overdue apology to my wallet and cards I've been abusing too much lately

This is kinda embarrassing. But I might as well tell it publicly so that nobody ever invites me out again to any parties and outings where I could overspend. And so that those who owe me money may consider dishing out some of their cash and pay.

I spend. Everybody spends. But me...I'm an impulsive buyer. Very impulsive I must say.

Last year, in just two weeks...I bought four shoes. I said I deserve it. But I said that just to relieve myself of shopping guilt.

Yesterday, while me and a friend where in Shangri La Plaza Mall along EDSA, there was an event promoting guilt-free shopping. I was curious cause someone from among their group was giving testimonials how she started a guilt-free shopping habit. But since my friend and I were there for a movie, I let the chance to listen and learn slip that time.

So we had a dinner before the movie. A sumptuous one. Well, I'm the type who pigs out some evenings. And to make the story short. The dinner was kinda pricey. Although, I enjoyed it anyways. (Ughhhh. I hate it when I had to rub my conscience just to free it from guilt. Dang!)

OK. Here's the deal. I have started reading tips on how to save money. I have also started a daily expenditure list. And I'm hoping I can keep this up so I can have it analyzed at the end of each month.

On a positive note, this could be a way for me to get that my bulging tummy back to its original size.
