I was just fantasizing about a tub of fries. And I caught myself paying online already for KFC. My money won't be enough for the week and now I'm spending again. OMG. Lately, I've been eating without minding the cost, and now, I'm suffering, I really have to tighten my budget. I'm not a 'one day millionaire' minded person. It's just that, when it comes too food, I can't tame myself. Have you experience that too? What can you advice?

God! That is exactly what happened to me yesterday. I was craving KFC so bad that I could not concentrate on what I was doing. I tried to resist the craving a lot but at last I gave up. It's almost impossible to resist the temptation of food isn't it?

Yes. Absolutely. It's like someone is talking inside me and pushing me to try this and that. And the feeling is rewarding afterwards.

You have to learn to control your money, don't let the money control you!

True. What I do is, I don't cut my expenses. But I increase my income. Because if I'll cut my expenses it is me, who is under my money. Which I limit myself in having only this and that. That is why I increase my budget on a timely manner. And my goal for savings and investments also. It's just that the money I'm budgeting for a week will not be enough because I keep on buying my cravings. ha ha

I have extensive debts - you really do need to cut back and also try to get professional independent advice if possible - good luck

Actually I always have trouble budgeting money for food. Because I don't deprive myself from eating anything I want to. And if I dont have cash I use credit cards. Which is the reason why I'm always broke at the end of the month or after getting my salary.

I understand how you feel completely. All I can suggest is maybe getting a special debit card or setting money aside and saying "this is it, this is my going out money" and leave it at that. KFC in the US has potato wedges but I don't believe we have fries.
