Thursday Thoughts #2

I've got money on my mind right now. I've been at my new job about 3 weeks now so at the end of the month I'll have more money. I'm doing more hours as well so my payslip should be healthy. My problem is overspending. I intended to put my student loans into my savings account and treat myself with the grant part. In my first year, I did that amazingly. In my second year, the first bulk went into savings and the second lot went to H&M and New Look. This time, I've transferred more money that I intended to this time just so I didn't overspend. As soon as payday comes along though, I know I'll spend a lot of the money. 

Online shopping is a nightmare for me. My main issue is that I end up buying things and sending them back. I struggle to find clothes that fit perfectly which means I often have to pay that little bit more so that they do. I'm a materialistic person. I know I should be ashamed to say that but I'm not. I like things. I earn my own money so I don't see why it's a problem. I like having lots of things (mostly clothes, shoes and bags of course) but I work hard to be able to afford them. It's not often my family just give me money to spend unless it's Christmas or my birthday. 

I tend to spend the majority of my money on clothes. I like having an overflowing wardrobe but I still want more. I'm thinking about setting up an eBay shop to make a bit of money. 

Am I the only one who likes spending? I feel like Kim Kardashian in that episode where they get a specialist in to deal with her shopping addiction!
