Do you feel guilty??

Options
I’m quite a gamer and this weekend I have hit my Xbox 360 hard. I clocked up quite a few hours and it’s a great escape from reality. Then all of a sudden I felt guilty for using and getting enjoyment from something I haven’t actually paid for. I bought it earlier this year (on credit card obviously). I guess at the time I had good intentions of paying it back though.

Anyone else feel like this or am I weird?? ;)

    I have a sofa that I am about to pay off that I have had for nearly a year on interest free and due to start repayments in January, I dont feel guilty for not paying for it as yet, but I do feel guilty for buying it (pre LBM) but I did know that I couldnt really afford it. Not becuase of the impact this has had on me, but because it upsets the people I care about when I get stressed about it and because I cant afford to have the kind of social life that my OH is used to and I cant afford weekends away in nice hotels or going out for a meal with my family or friends.

    Yeah you're weird! Lol Only joking!!!! :D

    God I feel that all the time. My engagement ring was purchased pre LBM and it feels weird to think its not properley paid for.

    In fact....I think everything in my life is there due to some sort of credit. Now I can't be alone, but that is bad!?

    However, now I am totally and utterley dedicated to my debts and not using any credit facilities at all now I do feel better about things...;)

    Happy x
    Happy and thankful with never enough time to do everything
