    I like the idea of actually reflecting on money as a concept and thinking about your feeling towards it. Good idea. I’m quite bad for just buying what I want but ultimately, I do have to sit and think first…it is worth it? xx #thatfridaylinky

    Ok I needed to read this, I’m like the polar opposite travelling in the other direction. I used to be super stingy and really tight on spending money meaning I wouldn’t let myself have a good time and enjoy things, now i’m starting to be a bit more loose about it and starting to be a little bit more reckless with spending – this brought me a little more down to earth and made me recognise that I need to strike a balance. Thank you for your honesty about your struggles it really does help readers and it’s amazing that you are so vulnerable for your readers.

    Glad to hear you are getting your habits under control. The more you get your finances under control the more you have to bless others with.

    Such an informative post, thank you for sharing your tips. I always have an impulsive splurge when I know I have money to burn. Normally I’m really careful with money but lately I’ve been like that guy in Brewster’s Million – practically throwing it away! #thatfridaylinky

    Brilliant. This is so timely for me. I have been continuing to overspend since stopping drinking… Buying rewards for myself, distracting myself etc. Going to reread carefully and really focus on this area this month. Thank you xx

    Wow, this is brilliantly written and has so much good information too. I need to come back to it because I want to read through all the parts you referenced too (and I need to go to bed now!), but I just know they are going to be equally helpful and inspiring. So glad to have found you via #FriYay Linky

    These are very useful tips, I love those affirmations. I definitely think I need to reign my spending in and I do find myself spending more money if my mood is low to try and cheer myself up. Thanks for linking to #BlogCrush xx

    When I turned 18 I got myself a load of store cards and credit cards and bought what I wanted for a year. I would buy a whole new outfit every time I went out partying, which was several times a week, and would buy rounds for everyone through my fear of people not really liking me. By the age of 19 I was £17500 in debt and in ‘debt crisis’ not being able to pay anything off and using credit from one place to pay of another and vice versa. I spent 5 years on a debt management plan and paid it all back. It was the silliest thing I ever did, but I also learnt a lot from it. I’m much wiser with my money now and only borrow what I can afford to pay back and if it’s necessary e.g my mortgage. Being in a lot of personal debt can be a dark place to be, but there is also light at the end of the tunnel and it’s totally possible to turn it all around.
