[quote=Anonymous]I am a spender, ask me anything.

No seriously, I AM a spender and I don't know why.

I've had jobs ever since I was old enough to start babysitting. My parents, while UPM did not spoil me AT ALL. Sometimes I think that was part of, my peers had a lot of "stuff" and I didn't and I wanted it. Not sure why. My parents were super frugal, but not very loving and affectionate. I always felt and still feel better after I have bought something -- for a friend, for me, for the house, for the kids  -- it doesn't matter. Once I got married, I spent a lot less. So I think I did have a kind of emotional hole I was filling with spending. I also have impulse control issues. I am better now, but not completely cured. I will not spend for months and then binge spend. I have major troubles with budgeting, and have always failed when I tried.

I have set up all my bills automatically (thank God for that).

It is a major area of work for me. I am married to a frugal saver and that has helped me a lot.

I don't drink, I don't smoke, but catch me on a down, down day and I'll be on amazon or Zappos or something.[/quote]
