Dear experts.
Let me explain to you: I'm Brazilian. I get about $400.00 per month, converting to your currency.It's a good wage, because in my country the minimum wage is about $90.00, I have a daughter, but I don't have to spend at home.My father helps me to pay her school.Even so( I'm a woman, and I know that's no reason) I spend it all!I got two special credits from the bank(and I used it).The situation got to a point that when I received my salary I gave everything to the bank, and only the credit returned.So I couldn't save.And I had to use the credit again.So I talked to my manager and she shared the amount in thirteen months.But it was the only way to see my wage in my account again.I was a fool, because I get depressed and spend everything in clothes and cosmetics.It makes me feel better at the moment, but right after
I get even more depressed. And I can't resist, if someone goes to my work, in the break, for instance, selling anything, I buy at least an item even if I don't look at that anymore.I have a closet full of clothes that I couldn't wear,shoes and shoes(like Carrie in Sex and the city, I'm mad about shoes), a drawer full of accessories, jewels, etc., tons of moisturazers whose date expires( I even forget them) , lipsticks which are new and I haven't even opened yet! When I see all of this and my bank account with problems, I want to cry.I have an extra wage in December(it doubles) and I'm thinking about paying a good amount in advance with it.Till there, I pay what I can and try to control myself.I've been visiting self help sites to compulsive buyers,and it's helping me a lot.I couldn't even go to a supermarket without buying lots of items, and yesterday I went and spent only the necessary.I looked at the extra and thought:(I have enough shampoos, etc.)at home, so what's the point in buying this ?So I could control. I went to the sghopping to pay my monthly bills in the stores and I didn't buy new clothes.I got thinking:I dson't need more clothes, I don't need more debts.
If you can help me with your advice, it'd be great. |
