I've seen some alarming totals on things that temporarily make me happy and am starting to learn that I've got to slow it down and think about whether or not if the end result is better than the initial purchase. I think i'm starting to become more of a homebody now.

When you look back and see you bought about 5 unnecessary pencil sharpeners, 2 electric toothbrushes and 50 outfits for the wrong season, hopefully it'll be your wake up call to say enough is enough.

I had never made myself a budget before this year (I'm 21), and I couldn't be happier. I now have a better understanding of where I like to spend, and am able to allocate money for savings, necessary expenses, and fun things. I wish my parents had taught me that I should be making budgets for myself when I'm young, even though they no longer need to because they are financially very well established. I had to learn how to do it myself, which is great and all but it would have been nice to understand the value of that earlier in life.
