Money Issues.

I have ridiculous money management problems. I don't make tons of money to begin with, but the issues are really my lack of control when it comes to keeping the purse strings drawn tight and spending money on other people and things I don't really need. I horribly abuse the overdraft cushion on my checking account and end up eating the $25 fee for each transaction all the time. I am VERY bad. M bought The Idiot's Guide to Money Management at Goodwill the other day and I've decided that since I'm willing to give hundreds of dollars to my bank for no good reason, I must be an idiot and I need to read that book. I also really need to hear from the new job soon...if I put myself on a budget and make more money, I'll actually be able to save some and still get to spend the way I do now without having to worry about anyone seeing an overdraft notice in the mail and feeling guilty about it.
