Money

[petite_beauty]

So now that I am destined to be alone, I'm freaking out about money.

How will I ever be able to afford a house? Retire? I'm 23 (24 in Feb) how much should I be putting away every month for retirement? For a home? I have a shopping addiction that seems to be ......getting in the way? I seriously buy 2-3 clothing items A WEEK! Does anyone else do

Courage

It doesn't get easier w/o courage. Most people never feel secure about money - even the rich. The trick is to save, a little here and there and to keep your head up. Trying to keep up with the Joneses (the others spending habits) is a losing fight. Those who spend non-stop may appear happy and secure but its likely they are moving backwards financially. Live your life for you.

I am not one to give financial advice because I'm awful at that, but I just wanted to say that I understand how you feel. It can be scary to think ahead to the future.
