You’ve made and we’ve all seen this type of comment from you before. We’ve talked about it. But you say there is just nothing you can cut $$$ from. You never do anything, rarely spend money. Yet in less than a week…

YET ANOTHER DAY: We then did some more shopping and spent my money. Shocking, lol.
AND FROM THIS WEEKEND: I took D and her friend to the city today to do an escape room. We had a good time and o am broke, lol.
ALSO FROM THIS WEEKEND: Then I had bought 2 tickets to a fundraiser dinner for my cousins son”s travel baseball team. I had bought one for the Texan. Bye bye $85!
I point these out not to be mean, not to toss it at you but to hopefully get you to realize that while yes, you live in an expensive area, at least part of you being “broke” is your spending habits and decision making. You just don’t seem to see it. Yet we do. You are broke in part because of the above - not because of where you live. If you move and continue to spend without a budget or at least without following the budget you may have, you will still be broke.
Might it be the same with the wash rinse repeat dating? You don’t see the patterns that others do? But sticking with $$$ multiple repeat trips to the mall, escape rooms, water park stays, Uber Eats, high priced fund raisers, Starbucks, and revolving credit card balances, are not likely any part of any budget that will get you out of debt.
Like dieting, exercise, and most things in life, including dating, finances and budgeting take routine and regular discipline and a solid plan to follow and not waiver from.
Just an observation.
