Why Are You in Debt?–Part II

When I look at myself and why I have continued to be in debt on a regular basis I had to take a look at my past to find out what happened to me.  I remembered that when I received my allowance I would save it regularly and I remember taking it to school and it got stolen.  I had planned on buying my mother something special for Mother’s Day.  I should have left the money with her but I was afraid she would spend it hehe.  I laugh about it now as she never would not do that sort of thing.  I remember spending time with childhood friends, who would get money from their grandparents, and their parents spent it on clothes for the child and groceries. So when it came time for my classmate to want to use the money to spend on something that they desired they would ask for it, and their parents would say? Oh I will pay you back this weekend, I had to use your money to buy food for the family.  So I see where I got that in my mind. From after that incident I have been spending money and not saving it as I feared it would be stolen.  Although money can be stolen, it is a loss too when you can’t find your wallet, or left your purse somewhere and you come back and it gone.  It feels as if you are being invaded personally and financially.

Have you ever had anything of your stolen?  How did you feel?
I do ask if you are leaving a comment to make sure it is a meaningful comment, and not to just show off the links to your blog site.   Thank you.
