I've been seeing the ads for thsi movie all over the place, so I was intrigued. I found the book at Goodwill for .75, so I was sold. LOL. I had picked it up at Walmart but it was $13, and I just didn't want to spend that kind of money on a book.

Anywho, I LOVED this book, and actually laughed out loud a couple of times when I realized I had done (or do) some of the things she is talking about. Seriously.

Before I got even close to figuring out my finances, I would hide my bills. I don't think this is to uncommon of a thing for someone who doesn't want to admit to themselves just how much trouble they are in. I was in BIG trouble (and was working my way out of it, when I had a job). I used to put my bills in my car and forget about them. Oh yeah, you read that right. Like where were they going to go? I had no idea, but I was full of wishfull thinking.

Another thing I laughed at, and I still do this, is I totally will lie to my mom about how much I paid for something. I didn't even realize I did it until I read this book. My mom is over critical on my purchases, so I will straight up lie to her about it. I'll tell her I got something on sale when I didn't ... or something equally insane. What's up with that? I'm an adult, and as long as I have the means, I shouldn't feel the need to tell my mom I got something at a great price, even if I didn't. Right?

So, if you haven't read this book .. it's funny. It really is. I'll still be waiting for the movie to come out on DVD, but the book put a couple of things into a new light for me.
