I’m in HS and since this stupid recession thing I’ve been trying to spend as little as possible and save up as much as possible. I think I was always this way since on online games I’d never want to spend any of my money and I’d just watch it grow and grow. But now it’s affecting my real life.
Like in 8th grade my friend always brought lunch; a PB&J and some snacks. Shed almost always eat the snacks but never the sandwich. So I’d eat it and I also liked it because I wouldn’t have to pay for a school lunch. *note Ive always been really careful to conserve food because I hate wasting it because I feel bad for people who have less then me.
Also when my friends get me cheap stingy gifts I get mad because I actually do pay alot around holidays. And at sleepovers and dinners I think “ok so if I paid tonight but she drives me home and uses her gas were even kind of”. I’m nit lOoking for someone tk pay for me I just don’t war to shell out all my money.
Times are hard and I just don’t like spending
Money because it get it from my mom and u feel bad for spending her hard earned cash. That’s why with my job I’m trying to pay for everything I need myself and never have to ask for er money again.

Am I cheap or just trying to make it easier for my mom?
