I am a real comfort eater/ spender and feel the constant need to escape from my anxieties. At times I feel like I am really different from others (have Asperger's so that may explain it) and I feel out of control at times, using pay day lenders like Wonga. Am I unique in this? Do other page visitors get a high from spending money?
I'm aspie too and do the same things. I spend all my money on food and beer and it's gone immediately and I indulge in expensive things too. I hate fast food and spend all my money on expensive resturants and gourmet meals, beers and cigars. I'm always broke but have expensive tastes. I never regret spending all my money but other people think I'm wasting it but it's not a waste if you enjoy what you buy. I'm about to drive to the butchery and get some kangaroo steaks now.
Im a total shopaholic, doesn't matter what Im buying...makeup, books, perfume, candy, random house items. I probably buy at least 1 item every day.
Which would be OK if we were not in debt but I don't think I can stop. Do I have Aspergers? I don't know most women are never diagnosed as much as men. Money is for enjoying and sharing and there is no tomorrow so you might as well spend it now. Screw the bills! My husband is always yelling at me for spending too much but I haven't stopped yet.
You should probably see a therapist for your anxieties UND take a look into Suzie Orman's financial guidance seminars.
