This experiment of anaylizing/blogging about my spendings has a lot of unintended consequences. Auditing my expenses regularly has allowed me to tie together my emotional state with the trends in spending. That information has allowed me to see how external factors, such as work, may be impacting my well-being based on how I was feeling and behaving for a given period of time. I use to feel guilt when I impulse shopped. Now I realize that there is more going on and I shouldn’t internalize those thoughts.
