Being Good Financial Something Somethings...Yeah

So I'll admit, Brianna and myself have not been very good with our finances in the past. We would go out and eat all the time and bought whatever we wanted when we wanted it. When we moved out here to Colorado though, things changed. We looked at our finances and realized that we couldn't keep doing what we were doing or else we would be Moochie McMoochers when we got older. So we have started to be very tight with our finances and watching everything that goes out and where it goes to. I have definitely learned one thing with this -

It's stinking hard to watch the finances.

I come to find out that "I want", and I want all the time. I find my mind justifying things that I want and it is really hard to say no. No to running in and getting some snackage at the gas station, or picking up that DVD at Best Buy, or buying that video game at Target. It's like I crave shopping sometimes even when I don't need anything. I take lunch with me to work and I sit there justifying how I can go out to eat even though I brought a lunch. I'll admit that once I eat the lunch I brought and not go out to buy food I feel good, but still, I'm craving that WingStop or Jimmy Johns.

So anyway, it's super hard and I'm sure I'm not the first person to ever figure this out. If there is anyone else out there struggling to save I feel your pain.
