A lot of it just seems like spending money is addictive. It's a habit to shop, to buy at least one little thing for ourselves. It's a habit to stop by a fast food place on the way home and pick up a drink or whatever. I think for a while when I went a long time without any fast food/processed food, it seemed like I was just craving it, almost as if there was a withdrawal process. However over time, I have kicked the spending habit. I no longer have a desire to spend anything. I no longer have a desire to pick up some fast food. Instead they've been replaced by a desire to hold on to every red cent.
