Bound to Buy/Spend

Creature of bad habits yes that pretty much says it all.  I can say no to Starbucks if I’m sitting at home on my couch watching a movie, however when I am walking through the mall and see that wonderful green and white sign with the strange cartoony lady it is not so simple.  I know I have read the articles and seen the commercials for “You can save over X amount of money a year”.  I live to be happy not to save money and when I am in a position of something I want and I can afford it I usually will purchase it.  Starbucks is actually my cheapest bad habit by far I would say my worst habit would be gambling.  I love Vegas, the lights are cool the clubs are fun but the casinos are where the excitement is.  Too my dismay I have never come home a winner.  I only do it because there is the chance of winning I have had winning streaks that I have won over nine thousand dollars in a less than 4 hours before.  Unfortunately the fact remains that I have never left Vegas with more money than I arrived with.  The motivation for Starbucks and gambling will stay due to the fact I do it because they make me happy, and that’s what is most important to me after all.

  1. I used to be like that too. When I'm home, I'm cool. But as soon as I pass a corner store or gas station I had to buy a Black and Mild cigar. Once I gave up the habit of smoking. I created the habit of going to the gym. So I basically gave up my bad habit and created a good habit. seems like it work pretty good too. Instead of wanting to smoke, I want to hit the gym
