I was wondering if, to resolve this situation, one has to "hit bottom" first? I have also been in terrible financial straits, and it took time, and then NOT enough money to support myself to make me frantically careful with money.
When I had a good job $$ wise, I could be less careful now and then, and know that the outcome might be messy or unpleasant, but I was not going to literally face starvation or be ousted from my home.
Now, I make choices between filling med prescriptions vs. food vs. bills. Playing revolving bill game, which I hate.
All of this feels shameful and hideous to me.
