It can be hard - especially if money is tight, but in the end I feel better about it. The Scarcity Mentality is a hard one to cover come.

It examines the effect of the belief in scarcity on our economic system, and the rather surprising effects of technological development on scarcity.

None of us are perfect but I have always believed that those who are willing to examine themselves critically and are open to change will be much better from the experience. Life is a journey and you're on the right path (Proverbs 4:18-19). Keep up the good work! It’s difficult enough to recognize and acknowledge our shortcomings to ourselves, let alone in public.
