    Hence why I advocate budgeting and personal finance :)

    Exactly!

    I love love LOVE pretty things, and I still hesitate to spend money on them — being in debt is far worse than missing out on this season’s ‘must haves’.

    I’m right with you, FB and Sara! My heart is still palpitating.
