I had a bad lengthy mania and spent around $20,000 on credit cards and bad loans. Now I’m trying to figure out what to do.

Oh wow! Did you at least spend it on something you enjoyed?

Lots of stuff on Amazon. I was getting delivery almost every day. I honestly don’t know where it all went.

Yeah lots of times, especially last time I was ill, I thought they were trying to bankrupt me, so I went on a spending spree, still paying that off

Yeah, same here. I got rid of prime. Good luck!

i waste a lot of money

I try not to it’s constant battle between needs and wants

Sure, I ran up my credit cards to about $7000 about 2 1/2 years ago, a lot of it was food and drink. I was buying outrageous amounts of soda because 7-11 was right next door and I craved it. I was spending almost $10.00 a day on soda because it is expensive at 7-11. And this was on a janitors salary and collecting SSDI. I payed it down and now I only owe a $1000 and I am happy to say that I have cut way, way back on my soda consumption.

I had some serious debt coming back from America. Took me years at a certain amount a week to pay it all off but so proud I did that! I paid back my University debt too and a lot of kids these days aren’t even doing that!

Not really, usually it’s all for food or clothes that I need to buy.
I’m not working as of yet so hopefully I’ll have more money to save up for the future!

It’s wednesday, today comes my liquid for my vape, after that I will have no money left for the whole week until next week monday or tuesday. I can do something like that because I can eat at my fathers place. Next week I will not spend my whole money away anymore. It happens every few weeks or months that I got no money after just some days. Need to avoid something like that, even if I could just throw the money out on stuff, I don’t like being dependent on somebody else.

Today I bought a lemon :lemon: for $2.60.
That’s a very expensive lemon.
(Australian dollars)

I bought corona beer :beer: for my x in a attempt to stay friends with him and he likes lemon :lemon: with his corona but they are so expensive at the moment so he would not buy one.
It was a big lemon but it’s still very expensive for a lemon.
I had the exact change so I ended up buying it anyway which normally I would not do.

I used to smoke and drink alcohol so I spent money on that but I quit many years ago and can afford much more since I did.
My x still smokes and he spends a lot on smokes every day.

I think I spend money on pretty good things but I want to become a better consumer.
I want to become more environmentally friendly in my consuming.

I once was in debt at a shop where they would let me “lend” a packet of smokes.
I once had pay off on Xmas gifts I bought my cousin and her daughters.i think it took me a year to pay of.will not do that again.
I do not want to lend money.

I have wasted money big time when I was delusional. I gave away nearly my entire house contents to a next door neighbour who was financially worse off than me as I thought that is what God wanted me to do. Later, after coming to my senses, I realised how easy it is for people with a mental illness to be taken advantage of.

I was manic and got myself into over 100k in debt. Went bankrupt and still had 50k to pay off cause it was to a relative. Going bankrupt was the worst mistake of my career cause it prevented me from getting a fantastic job.

surely I wasted money , too. Right now I am wasting money as I ordered an item yesterday. It was delivered to my door this morning and to my disappointment it was not what I had expected. But I don’t want to return it back and get the refund.

That’s awful!
I’m sorry @FatMama…

I think I’ve figured out a plan :blush:
