When I lived at home I could pretty much spend money on whatever I wanted. But living on my own is so much harder because I have bills to pay and can't just spend money on anything I want. Step-Daddy told me I had to start budgeting but to be honest it's something that takes a lot of discipline.

Discipline is NOT something step-daddy has a problem maintaining. He put me on a budget and told me I had enough clothes for now. In my heart I know he was right. So, the rule was that I couldn't buy anymore clothes unless he gave me permission.
