Admittance is the First Step!


Admittance, according to Merriam and Webster, the act or process of admitting. Sometimes when you're in denial, its hard to come to terms with the idea of you having a problem. Where am I going with this you might ask? Well, I think I have a spending problem... lets be frank. The moment money touches my hand, I instantly have to spend it! It's like a raging fire in the palms of my hand and I have to get it out!!

This subject is truly hard to write about being that I'm 31 years of age. At some point you're suppose to gain a sense of financial independence or responsibility whoever, this is nowhere near my situation. I'm blogging to the entire world with the chance of bring on a lot of judgment but I have to be honest with myself. As I repeatedly put myself in this financial holes, I can't help but think about why am I like this? Why am I not normal like everyone else, who's financially responsible.

Growing up, being that I was the only girl, my parents would put a lot of responsibilities on me. Now I'm not going to sit here and act like this idea didn't help me out in the long run but I feel there was something that they missed. Being that I had a lot of the responsibility, when it came to looking out for my brothers, I wished they had enforce the idea of teaching me to be responsible with money. I think they might have felt like I was so responsible when it came to chores and looking after my brothers, I could surely handle dealing with money... WRONG!!!

Time after time I have put myself in some of the worst situations.You would think after everything that has I've experienced, I wouldn't allow things like this to happen over and over again. This is why I say this is a REAL LIFE ADDICTION. I've watch so many great videos on YouTube about budgeting my money and becoming organized but I never stick with it. A lot of time it leaves me feeling hopeless and defeated!

 I want to overcome this demon but i don't know where to even start! Who do I talk to to? One things for sure, If I don't change this behavior, I'll be on my way to filing Bankruptcy. Any advice would be helpful at this point... I've truly run out of options!

I'm deciding to take a different approach on things because things really have to change! I've decided to get some insight from financial advisors to help me correct my financial MESS! have you are anyone you know dealt with this before? What are some things you do that has help you become better with finances? I would love for you to leave me some suggestions in the comments. Remember, In order to pour into others, you must first pour into yourself.

Them "20-Somethings"

Looking back on my 20's, I really didn't have a clue but you bet not tell me that! I was tough like a tiger and nothing could stop, so I thought. I really thought I had it all figured out!  Although I had dreams the size of Mount Everest, I still had a lot to learn about this journey called "LIFE"!  I'm sure a lot of you had conversations with your parents, where they warned you about how important having a plan is, how learning to be more organized is key, and stressing the important of continuing to college so that you'll be set for the real world, should be your top priority.
