I've just about had it.

No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get ahead!
So after my car payment comes out today, I am left with $7.66 to my name.

I have a couple of tricks that sometimes help me keep from spending money I don't have at the mall - I know of a couple outdoor shopping centers near me that a friend and I will walk around after closing time on Sunday evenings. I get to window shop but I can't buy it if the store isn't open! Occasionally I will think - I am going to come back and buy that - but by Monday morning I have usually forgotten about it. :-) Also, if you know of something that you really want (like the makeup) but can't afford, plan ahead for it. I have several envelopes that have various goal items that I would like to have. I try to put a couple of dollars in each week and then when I have the total I am able to pay cash for the item rather than paying with my credit card.
Good luck. I am very much an impulse shopper and know the feeling in your gut when you spend too much.
