I have a spending addiction that I just can't seem to get over. I've been trying to follow the baby steps, but it's really hard for me.

So I'm just kind of looking for your advice on that. Tell us a little bit more. What is this, what can you, what do you feel comfortable

telling us about this particular addiction? Is it just across the board spending or is it one or two

categories or one thing? What is it? Yeah, so it's fast food because I have such a busy schedule

that I don't plan for making dinner.

So I spend money on fast food.

I spend a lot of money on my daughter.

I spend money on other people.

And then like at the bottom of the list is splurging on my own stuff.

Okay.

And what give us an idea, have you been tracking how much you're spending in all these categories on a monthly basis?

Yeah, I use every dollar, so it's probably about a thousand to a thousand two hundred a month.

Wow. And what's your total income for a month?

It's about, oh, for a month, it's probably 4,800.

Oh, so ma'am, you don't have the margin to be splurging like this. Right. No. I mean, that's like if you do have a $2,000 month, that's half your income. Yeah. Do you have debt as well? I do. I have a total of probably $,000. Oh, my word.

Whoa.

Okay, you know we're going to break this down.

Give us the list, smallest, the largest.

Yeah, my medical debt is for a little over 4,000 credit cards, 9,100.

And then personal loans, 51,600.

And my student loans are 20,000. Who are these personal loans, 51,600, and my student loans are 20,000.
