spending habits

Being happy as a biger spender is not good idea as being a spendthrift. The old proverbs has already said: don't make extremes choices, it could be destructive. The sounds suspicions, but is not. I have trying to bring that proverb up and use it how much I can. It is not different when I need to manage my budget. Most parte of time I'm very seduce by clothes, books, CDs, etc.  and even I really want to get some of them, I stop to think and I talk by myself get out of it. Also, I have done an usuful tecnic which I call convincing by myself. Throught it I have been control my compulsive way, putting it into my mind. I'm trying to think if I saved up maney I would have opportunity to travel soon. After then, I start to make my futur's travel plans even it be longer.
That reallity what I described to you came from over time and over mistakes. I was going to be very irresponsable, but in time I understood how bad all of those were. I made a lot of mistakes like some day in the short past I had bought two big speakers I've never used. In thrue, the speakear were a good bargain and were very stylish, however, unusuful. Another day I saw a baroque chair and I thought it could be very charming in my room. At the same day I asked my boss to go out for a few minutes and I went to store to buy it. Summarizing, that chair was bigger than my door. There were a mount of others experiences that drove me to think how stupid I was being.
Actually I create my budget and a live within my mean, paying my debts in full and buying only what really I need.
