Why Money Makes Me Anxious

Okay, money gives me anxiety, simply put because of the Ex and the issues it would bring up in my family of origin. Yes, money makes me paranoid. It makes me feel guilty to save it too. But then I also feel guilty spending it. It may be a CPTSD symptom I’m dealing with when it comes to dealing with my money. I’m trying to survive on low income, and I’m also looking for sources of steady income. We will be projecting a savings of $310 this month, perhaps. That will be nice to maintain if I can keep a lid on my spending habits. One way to do that is to eat at home. I have all of two winter pants, and a third pair if you count my navy blue summer pants.
