How i spend my money!

When i used to live with my mom i used to get $10 a week, then rising to $20 a week. I usually would waste that money on icecream everyday afterschool and hot cheetos, i then learned that i wanted a variety of clothes so i started to save. So now that i live with my grandma i have carried some of those lesson i've accoplished at my mom house over to my grandmas house. At my grandmas every month i get $253 but i have to help her out so i give $60 a month, my grandma knows how to spend and save money so she has also retaught me the meanings of having money saved for something i want or may need. When it comes to budgeting money i really don't understand how you do it.... maybe i have did it but lol i would have not known!! I am really happy at my big increase of money that i recieve every month but i still find my self saying,"Where did my money go!!"

I used to like when my mom surprised me with $10 here and maybe $40 there, but what i did'nt like is when she lied to me about the money. Me and my sister get child support from our astranged father every month but i did'nt know that until i started to complain to my grandma, that there is no food in the house and momma is gone with one of her mail friends and i'm stuck in the house watching my siblings. Now my mom is not and evil woman but to me she is in denial with herself because she believes her own lies, when it comes to our child support checks the first thing she says is how he beat on her. This is very sad and bad to hear but at the same time it does'nt help that you spent all of our money on your dates and on our step father videos games. This was one of my conflicts with my momma and i had to leave because at that house i had no good examples of how you should spend or save money, the only thing i saw was people wasting money. My little brother needs help i don't really know if he has autism or what but its been a year, and the two people that claim their grown. Is still on their butts in a dirty house neglecting their son with a problem and eight year old daughter that needs love!!

So now that you know how my life is with money now you should know why i wasting my money, instead of saving and investing my money in things i need.
