Me. Ive gotten a lot better at it though. If it cost more than $50 I really think about if I really need it or not.

I'm a tech junkie. So...yea. It's bad.
I thought it was bad when I was a sneaker junkie.
We spend way too much money on food too...I'll drive by a supermarket or a place to eat and I'll wanna pull over just to get something.
Butcher shops, Italian delis, Halal meat delis, Dominican delis, Chinese spots,Specialty food markets, Trader Joes... all

I'm going to start holding myself more accountable. I don't even keep track of my purchases either because I already have money, but still, they got aWM6.1 program for balancing your checkbook I need to download.
Worse though, is going to the supermarket WHEN you're hungry. I end up copping like a DiGiorno (6$), 2 Gatorades's (2$), Hawaiian rolls (1$), pack ofcookies (3$), some shredded cheese (2$), and all of that is gone save for some of the cookies like 30 minutes later.

I'd say between fall 05' and the beginning of 2008 I bought maybe 3 pairs of shoes..
In 2008 alone it was around 35+.. My 09' New Years resolution was to put an end to that.. So I did.
Working a job where I get $35 cash a day for per diem doesn't really help either other then the fact that it's hard to make big unnecessary purchaseson the road anyways. I find my self a lot of the time having $500+ in my pocket with no desire to spend it. I don't play video games, and the shoepurchases I'm keeping to a minimum.
I spend a ridiculous amount on food these days.. It's f'n sad.
$10-$15 meal here and there adds up, $6 every morning atTarget adds up too.
I run thru 20's like ones these days, and $1 bills, hell wt.f are those anyway?
This is coming from a dude that slept on an air mattress and ate lean cuisines thru all of 07'..
I got 6+ months of expenses saved up so I'm goody for the most part.
Having $100k+ in available credit (cards) I could buy anything I want.. Whether I can afford to pay it off is a different story.
