There is a topic in "other topics" about becoming more frugal, which appears to mostly happen when you use less razor blades - it really got me thinking about my money spending habits (DH's as well) and my anxiety about it.
I've always been frugal - I still am mostly because I love the earth and don't like to fill it up with garbage, etc. but although I still LBYM, our means have gone up and I am spending more. Adapting to this, while easy intellectually, is causing some anxious feelings. Perhaps its due to the fact that we are in the last stages of getting our ducks in a row for DH to quit in a few months, I don't know.
An example of this is - I don't use razor blades anymore because I had all the hair lasered off my legs. I could have provided the whole forum with a lifetime of razorblades with the money it cost to do that, but alas, I thought "why not" life's to short to shave my legs all the time. (in my anxious moments I think, well at least I won't have hairy legs whem I'm living in a van down by the river!!)
Anyone else grappling with this admittedly neurotic problem? Maybe I should have posted this in the health issues forum, tee hee.
