My relationship with money is nonexistent. Spending money is not a problem for me, but finding the money to spend is the hard part. I used to be really good at saving my money, any money that I found went in a secret hiding place. Now I can barely save money for one day. I see something, I want it, I buy it.
Growing up, I was very spoiled I won't even lie about that. I usually got everything I wanted for either Christmas or my birthday, so getting stuff I want was no a problem for me. However, growing up the things I wanted got more expensive every year. Money was tight with my grandma, and she could not really afford what I wanted, but she tried to the best of her abilities to try and make it work with her financial situation.
Now I realize the importance of saving money because nothing is free, and everything is expensive. I have no way of making my own money at this moment, but I am looking for ways. As of right now, my grandma gives me $100.00 a month but I usually spend it before I even get it. I am an impulsive buyer, and it really has gotten bad. Owning horses does not save any money what soever. That is were most of my money, well my grandmas money, ends up. I really need to learn budgeting skills because if I keep living like this, I will be in debt for the rest of my life.
Now a days, if you don't have any money you can't really get anywhere. Now is the time where I am looking for a car, and having the budget I do with the car I want does not work. You learn to settle for what you have and work for what you want. Thinking about it, I would be lucky to get any set of wheels because some people can't even get some, so I need to learn how not to be so picky because being picky is where my bank account goes dry. Money is hard to make, but very easy to spend.
