“ #Overspending can show up in response to #financial stressors and financial #trauma ..It’s our way of trying to establish safety in our #brain. It’s hard to recognize it because the act releases #dopamine, which actually feels good to use.” : buff.ly/RCELwxE

My vehicle is empty of hoard and I bought less than $100 in food and gas as I'm trying hard to minimize food purchases. I feed me, a horde of feral birds and 3 cats (one feral). I also try NOT to go shopping or spend money on 'stuff' each week. I don't need stuff.
