It happened again. Yesterday I got my money. Since some weeks I just spend all on the first few days. I get money every week. It wasn’t always like that. A new phenomenon.
Next week I need to save up the money because I have to go to get the depot. That works always. Was eating out twice and bought really expensive food. Which I guess was really stupid. Next week I even try to save at least 10 € until the following week.
It’s just that’s really boring and I tend to get irrational sometimes.
Try giving yourself a daily budget instead of weekly. When you reach for the max that day you stop spending. But figure in the cost of food gas and bills and take that out before figuring your daily budget
Would you consider yourself manic? 
Not really manic. But it goes pretty fast until I had spend the limit I got for the week.
I have a legal guardian. He takes care about my bills. The money I get is for bus, food, tobacco and clothes.
I’m having food till friday now. And I can eat at my fathers place, everyday, at least once. Next week is a new attemp to not spend all the money in the first few days. I go back to grocery shopping three times a week for each time I will spend 15 €, so in total 45 €. This is what I did since I left the hospital. For one year I had 60 € a week. Back then I wasn’t a smoker. Because of my legal guardian I’m now having 95 € a week. 30 € goes of to tobacco. The money that is left will be for food or the bus. My clothes and shoes are alright.
Do you need your guardian to help you make the money last the whole week?
No, I just spend all the money the last weeks so fast because I always have my father to fall back on. I just need to watch out for such behaviour. Don’t want to cost my father too much money.
