I can’t believe I am such a terrible spender. I got my stimulus check today, a whopping $600(!) from the government. And just as quickly as I got it, it’s gone. I paid off some of my credit cards, and then spent the rest on maternity clothes, a pair of shoes, and groceries for the week. All I really wanted to do was pay off my credit cards, put a little into my savings (I got some marriage money and put half that away already), and then buy me and the hubby year passes to the Wild Animal Park, so we have a family outing to do when the baby is born. That would’ve been fun. And now it’s gone. Well, two thirds of it has gone bye-bye. The rest is going into a humble little nest egg. My only way of justifying it is by saying it’s stuff I needed because my regular clothes hurt and I have to eat. I wouldn’t have been able to get these without the extra money. Wow. The government’s plan worked and I fell into the trap so easily.
