I like how ironkurtin put it. Just when i think I'm never going to find those key pieces that are on my list of things that would really work great, and i buy something just because it will work somehow, then that great item will show up. Even if I can afford to get it, it's not satisfying to be burdened with the so- so purchase and to have taken the retail bait, which aims to make us feel as if this month, this day even, is our only chance. There will be great stuff somewhere, forever. Picky and patient in the PPP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/budget-blues#post-970725 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 16:48:23 +0000 Anonymous 970725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't even browse online if I don't have any cash to spend. I start wanting way too much and find myself extremely unhappy with what I do have instead of being grateful. </p> <p>In fact, I should probably quit wandering around TJ Maxx since I just bought a purse with my money. It is hard isn't it!</p> <p>Although, most of my mistakes have been on sale items! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/budget-blues#post-970700 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 16:32:37 +0000 Anonymous 970700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There will always be things out there to buy. Get your bank account in a happy place and then you can shop to your new budget </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/budget-blues#post-970698 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 16:31:42 +0000 Anonymous 970698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! you can guarantee that if I'm looking for something specific I won't find it yet if I'm just passing through a shop a million things will leap out at me saying 'buy me'. Be strong! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/budget-blues#post-970697 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 16:30:41 +0000 ironkurtin 970697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I empathize!</p> <p>Remember there is always something new to want.&nbsp; There will be things to buy, when you can buy them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/budget-blues#post-970695 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 16:29:18 +0000 Astrid 970695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, staying away from the stores is sometimes the only method! Here are now summer sales and I still plan to SYC until at least August, when I'm going to be at home. I might look for those black pants that are on my shopping list then. But no shopping until then and it's difficult. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/budget-blues#post-970692 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 16:25:12 +0000 Hil 970692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why is it that when you don't want to shop you see a zillion things you love and would look amazing!</p> <p>I have placed myself on a strict budget this month to get my bank balance back to a happy space, but the shops are all having their winter sales and there was so much loveliness in the mall today. </p> <p>Ah well.... I will just have to stay out the malls for the next few weeks! </p>
