[quote=Anonymous]I rarely go to the mall but I had to today to get my son some basics for school, and when I am at the mall I always see all the people there just buyng stuff like crazy and lots to stuff that is way overpriced.  And I think to myself, I know that lots of these people here at the mall are spending beyond their means and their budget, and some of them are probably earning far less than me and I start to worry becasue I know how I budgeted and planned just to purchase these basic school clothes. I get this really irrational impulse to run up to some of them and say -- "wait, what are you doing, you've got to know you probably can't afford this stuff right?!?" And then I think about how many people are just running up their credit card balances, and how this can't be good for all of us.  It's a bit much, right?

So, anyway, yes, I guess, as a PP had said, it's just my instinct to be frugal.  I overthink it, my husband says, but he is glad ultimately that I am frugal, but it sure takes the fun out of shopping and the monthly grocery plans. :)[/quote]
