My family's not rich, by the way. But when I start to get a grip on some amount of money, I'm itching to buy something; anything that I see as nice, cute or fascinating. Just like this afternoon, I went to the supermarket, only having the intention to buy a bottle of conditioner. So I thought "Nah, it wouldn't reach 150 pesos." But heck, I have 500 pesos in my pocket. I thought of what other things that I could buy and started rummaging through the store. I only thought of spending 300 pesos. I was shocked when I paid my groceries. In just a click and a clack of the cash register, BOOM! My 500 pesos turned into a canister of potato chips, a pack of chocolate wafer sticks, a bottle of juice, a pack of wet wipes, a water bottle, the supposed to be the only thing I bought -- the conditioner, and a box of cute, colored band-aids. I know you'd wonder why I bought band-aids. And I really have nooooo idea what I could tell you. I just bought it 'cause they're cute. See? And you know what, I regretted buying the water bottle. Ugh.
What I'm doing is really such a bad habit. I need to break it as soon a possible before I could spend money on animal-shaped rubber bands I just found at the bookstore earlier this afternoon. I'm far away from my parents and they're working hard to send me some allowance. Then I'm here, spending the money recklessly on some cute little band-aids. Does anyone have some tips on how I could control myself?
