[quote=Anonymous]I go in cycles. I spend freely for a while and then think to myself that I need to reign it in. Or I know that an expensive time is coming up. Back to school, new tires.. whatever. I've been poor. Living on assistance, do I pay the power bill or buy food? poor. So most of the time I'm still watchful of my spending. Other times I think to hell with it, I'll spend. I DO overspend on food. But after a few years of shopping with a calculator in hand, leaving stuff behind I would rather spend on food. Once a month I have a "clean it up" week where I meal plan around what we have. I guess for me it's part habit. I spend for a while and then almost panic, going over and over the budget with a "what if" frame of mind.[/quote]
