With the rising cost of groceries, rent and living in general, I can't help but feel like I must save every cent I make. I feel it's wrong to shop for myself because I don't know how bad it's going to get.. none of us do . I feel I must be frugal now and be very mindful of how much money I spend. I was always a very emotional shopper, and up until my son was born, I shopped like a teenager with no bills. Wouldn't think through purchases for more than 5 minutes, if I wanted something I would buy it right then and there. I'm not like that no more, but it just kills me to know of all the money I could have saved over the years. Now I'm a single mom, to my 4 year old, and trying to save everything I can so that we never have to deal with the terrible, terrible reality of having to choose between paying bills and putting food on the table like so many families are struggling with right now. If you're in a bad financial situation right now, Im so sorry and i pray it gets easier for you and your family, we're all in this together!
