I have a thing for shoes....hold on while I count the number of shoes that I own. I own 23 pairs of athletic shoes...just athletic shoes alone. Several of the shoes I own are still in the original boxes. I like to keep my shoes clean and I figure that the best way to do that is keep them in the box. I usually use the excuse that I do not have that color shoe and convince myself that I need them.
That is one of the major drawbacks of working at Sports Authority. Although I get a 25% discount, I spend way more money than I should. I am guilty of only working half the time, and shopping during the other half. My paycheck does right back to Sports Authority because I usually just end up spending the money I earn.
Now, I have become a little bit more conservative. I try to tell myself that I have no money and when that doesn't work, I hide my debit card. Not exactly the greatest idea on my part because I know where I hide it so it kind of defeats the purpose. I love spending money, but not necessarily on just things for myself. I love to buy things for other people, even if it is just little things.
I am not sure how this summer is going to look. I will be making quite a bit of money and I do not think that I will be able to lie to myself about this one. I have a bad feeling that this summer is going to include a lot of money-spending. That will be OK with me as long as I do not go overboard. Writing about this has really gotten me in the mood to go shopping....with all of this school work I have had to do, I think that I should treat myself. Yes, I have decided I am going to go shopping today!
