Default Re: 10 Financial Lies We Tell Ourselves

Good article.

I was feeling pretty good perusing it until I got to the last one- that is my downfall - well it was - but no more. Working on a plan going forward.

Some of those myths I will never get though I hear the words out of people's mouth all the time. I laugh at #3 & #4 - yikes if you belive that!!!

I think #2 will always be a struggle though I know logically buying things doesn't make me feel better very long. But there is always that initial high. I try to curb that high with very low-priced items as a compromise. I can spend $1-$5 on something, and then when I get bored with it I can sell it on ebay - at least I can get a little retail satisfaction which makes it easier to say no to bigger things. Works for me I guess though I Would love to never have the urge to buy anything I didn't really need.
