  I'm not really good with budgets, but one thing I've learned about impulse buying is that if you plan for it, you spend less.  Set aside "fun" money to be used for these buys and when it's gone, you're done.

  ah, now that is the spirit queenie!!!!  as you can see from your own expeirence yesterday... negative people aren't fun to be around.. all the time.  both negative and positive are very additive.  being positive will attract the same in others!  :)  As for money, I say keep it where it is hard to get at.  Keep just enough around that you think you might need and put the rest out of sight/out of mind!  :)  have a great day!

  Glad to see you're enjoying life, queenie.  Managing money..hmmm.  Well, you could open a savings account in a bank.  Then deposit all the money that you want to save as soon as you get paid.  Once you spend the cash that you kept out, it will be a pain in the ass to have to go to the bank and withdraw money (don't get an ATM card), so you'll be less likely to do it.  If you do withdraw money, ask for large bills, so it will be difficult to get change, and you will also think twice before breaking a large bill.  It's so easy to spend coins and small bills.  Hope this helps.

  You ARE a positive person queenpanoia! As far as money, it is more difficult for some peope than others to manage. I personally feel that you pay your bills, you save something reasonable out of every check, and then do what makes you happy with anything left over. And Queenie, it is a lot easier to manage money when you have a lot of it. (note about shoes-always buy the cute ones but sometimes buying cheap shoes is a waste of money. I cringe when I pay a lot but they last forever! Night and sweet dreams.

  Keep on smiling and being positive. Don't you buy any bad shoes. Good shoes last longer.

  every week, put a set amout of your money away in savings-  what's left over is what you can spend, lend or give away.
   
  i'm glad your mood is better!

  one way to manage your finances is to discipline yourself not to impulse buy anymore. here's a trick to accomplish that. if you see something that you want, something that strikes that impulse, look at the price, and then turn around and walk away. come back three days later and look again. if you still want it and you need it, then you can buy it. but you'll probably find that the impulse is gone.
   
  glad for the elevated attitude qpdoll :-)
