as the person you are describing, we’re not (or at least some of us aren’t) lying we’re just uncontrolled spenders. honestly for me it’s like a dopamine boosts but i’ve gotten to where i only let myself buy things that i either really need or have wanted over over two weeks. or sometimes if im really itching to spend money i’ll go to a store and be like “okay $10 (or whatever depending on how much i have) is my limit and i can buy whatever useless thing i want”

Thanks for being honest. Genuine question. If you are broke where do you get the money for non-essentials assuming you would absolutely need essentials like groceries/rent? Even if it’s credit card, it’s gotta be paid sometime and has a limit ?

OP 1d

i’ll normally buy non essentials right after i get paid right before i pay bills (like credit cards-that i’ve stopped using!)
