regarding clothing. i have been confined to op shops for the last 6 months or so because i have been working my way through uni and paying rent etc.

i finally got clearance for youth allowance, and got my first payment. i also got paid from work yesterday for the last two weeks, paid my rent, shopped for food, bought phone credit and paid bills, so i am now officially cashed up.

i really actually do need some new clothes, all my shoes are committing suicide and i am presently wearing 4 tops, a scarf and a jumper to shield me from the melbourne cold.

i have to buy a warm jumper, a coat, long pants and a pair of good sturdy shoes, but i can't seem to bring myself to spend all that money...

i mean, i have the money, but i cant give it to the shop assistant in exchange for nice clothes...

i used to buy $200 jeans and $300 dresses without batting an eyelid.

what is wrong with me?!? i think cheapskate-ism has leaked into my blood for good, and i'm in the shopping capital of australia for god's sake.

I hate to part with my own money as well. Just take the plunge.

Haha, that's exactly like me. I went through a poor stage when all my money ran out and before I was approved for sickness benefits by Centrelink, but now I'm quite content living my povo lifestyle. I'm sure you'll get over it soon though. Maybe you can lay by and pay off some things like the coat if it'll make it a little easier for you to part with your pennies?
