Dear Attitude,
I am terrible with money. For some reason whenever I get it I spend it. As soon as I get it I spend it. Sometimes when I’m out and had a few drinks I spend it like water. I’ve even booked and paid for holidays for friends when I’m drunk. I always feel the need to spend money on my friends — often when it’s money I don’t have. I’ve taken out loans and credit cards and ended up in debt. Friends have said they think I spend too much but I feel as if life needs to be lived and I enjoy the finer feelings in life. I just can’t seem to find a good balance and buy only occasional treats and nice things. I’m always going over budget and it’s causing a problem. How can I get control of it?
