Now don't get me wrong, I will spend money when I need/have to. But on things people see as "nice" I can't help but feel that everything is a massive waste of money, especially when its mine, I worked hard for 2 years before uni while at college to get into the financial position I am in, and my significant other seems to think as I have it that I should spend it. When I spend or lend (even very small amounts) it irritates me and when I have lent money I can't help but constantly think about getting it back, I see it as I'd rather not spend it now but spend it later such as when I finish uni buy myself a very nice car, but my friends and girlfriend see this as a waste of time as I'm quite into my cars but to me, every penny counts and the more I spend now the less achievable my short term dream is. I feel awful, sometimes I feel like I'd even rather not do things with my friends and girlfriend as I can't help but see everything as an expense. Money consumes my life and I think it quite an unhealthy obsession but can't help it, should I see someone or just carry on? I don't know what makes it worse, is it me or the people around me just thinking I should be like them and spend spend away?
