Asher says it's my counting the chickens before they hatch mentality. Good thing is the things that I'm lusting for are quite high end items so I will have to have a job firmly in my hand before I can buy them so that helps.Rubeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455838454896172159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509874543934071072.post-59706541384537947712011-05-08T16:59:43.670-06:002011-05-08T16:59:43.670-06:00Oh yes, I have jumped the gun, so to speak, with s...Oh yes, I have jumped the gun, so to speak, with spending. The last time I did it was just before I started my job and I went shopping to celebrate my new career. I haven't done it since then though, especially since I've started blogging and budgeting. <br /><br />I think acknowledging that you have a tendency for anticipatory spending will help you in the future keep a tight grip on your wallet :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509874543934071072.post-89063458278170976432011-05-08T08:53:06.116-06:002011-05-08T08:53:06.116-06:00I did that when I started applying for paid intern...I did that when I started applying for paid internships. I knew I would get at least one, so I went shopping. <br />Bad idea.

Time for a treat! Argh!<br /><br />We are all working on finding our "triggers" and how to get the best of them rather than them getting the best of us. <br /><br />Last time I was out of work I carried around Special K bars since I knew I would be hanging around in coffee shops for most of the day before and after interviews that I would be tempted to get a snack. So the bar would carry me over until I got home to have a real meal. Maybe find something you know you can snack on when the temptation hits.<br /><br />Good Luck! :)Morgainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691104266355915134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509874543934071072.post-89180701205799646132011-05-07T15:01:28.704-06:002011-05-07T15:01:28.704-06:00I think sometimes it's your mind's way of ...I think sometimes it's your mind's way of dealing with the crappiness of not having a job. And maybe a little stress relief too, even if it doesn't necessarily feel like that.Obsessive Compulsive Danielahttp://obsessivecompulsivedaniela.comnoreply@blogger.com
