Stepping Off Another Cliff
Gave the credit card over to the husband this week. (sigh) Hard to admit that, despite my best intentions, I'm not able to sort out what I should and shouldn't buy. Granted, I wasn't out there buying grand pianos and haute-coutre clothing. I was nickle and diming us to death. My skin used to crawl at the thought of shopping at Wal-Mart. Rue the day that they opened up a shiny new store 60 seconds from my house. I can walk in there for a can of soup and walk out a hundred bucks lighter. Sad part is that it's all stuff that I'm convinced that we "need".
I'm not completely cut off from my beloved credit card. I can get it back if needed, but there is now a moat between it and me. It will be interesting to see how much of a difference this will make in our finances. If it makes a big difference then egg on my face. It will be just one more link in my realization of how truly shallow and immature I am. I am the Empress and I need new clothes. When will I have a true concept of my nakedness?
