Thanks Cat and Vera for your responses! I know how to shop for sales but I have been buying whatever I wanted not even caring about the price. Ridiculous! In the end it didn’t get me happiness I am glad that I am realizing this spending cycle before I dig too deep of a hole and can’t get out. I’m going to have some of my pension funds direct deposited to my savings account. No more compulsive spending on myself or other’s. Once the 2 loans I provide for relatives are repaid, no more loans. I am solely responsible for myself, I have no one to turn to for financial help. I need to learn my lesson. Also, I started back to the gym last week. I didn’t go when my Mom was recouping and couldn’t go. While I am in the city, I will swim and take evening walks. I have been overeating and weight more than ever. It needs to stop as I don’t want it to affect my health and I would feel better about myself. I am going to visit with friends, my sister, and I will see my youngest Daughter when I am in the city. Of course I will have time with my Grandson. I’m going to be alright. It feels like I am starting over. A fresh start!
