Cheaper By the Hour

Many things that I used to spend money on seem pointless to me these days. I'm in shock when I realize just how careless I was with my money. Don't get me wrong: I'm still a broke ass student who has to forgo many things that I want. I'm just better able to determine what I need and make those purchases. I have noticed that I'm becoming cheaper and cheaper with each passing hour. I not only think twice about each and every purchase (from a fall jacket to gum), I think like 99 times about each and every purchase... ($1.59 for 12 pieces of gum?! I have mint flavored dental floss in my purse!)

Am I being too extreme? I feel like spending money is getting scarier and scarier. Am I creating some kind of psychological problem for myself? I sure hope not; therapists are expensive!
