Day 1: Something you hate about yourself.

SomeTHING... just one?  Well that's almost impossible to only name one, but I suppose I'll try.

I hate that I can't (read: don't) save money.  I have the ability to.  As in, my income would allow it, I just choose to be careless with my money.  I love to shop and spend too much money every month buying worthless crap for the house or clothes for me or Sofia.  We could have a decent savings account if I would just put forth the effort to pay of my credit card, keep it down/only use it for necessities, and then actually put my left over into a savings account. 

On that same note, I hate that I don't save more money on the things I *do* buy.  Clothes, sure, I usually shop at Marshalls, TJmaxx, or Ross and I usually buy Sofia's clothes there or at Carters.  But at the grocery store, I hardly ever buy generic brands.  I'm too impatient to wait or watch the ads until something goes on sale.  I tried cutting coupons, but I couldn't keep up with it.  Not to mention when I want something I'm going to buy it.  I'm not going to wait until it goes on sale and then stock up.  That's just not the way I do it.
