Most of the sales are all over, those that are not, I simply can not touch. Last year, I was able to spend $75 on my 3D Art stuff for the Annual PA sale and other sales around, this month, $20, thats right TWENTY. I was lucky that I had 2 friends give me early Birthday gifts, if it wasnt for that, I would have been a bit more sad.

But then I stop and I read, the hardship that some are going thru, being evicted, losing their homes to Mother Nature, and I feel so over blessed and shameful that I am complaining because I didnt have an extra $50 more to spend on my hobby.

I have a friend, who always irked me because she would flaunt her financial success. Going shopping with her was a whirlwind, oh let me buy this, oh I can have that, why dont you buy this... oh thats right, sorry. Now the tables have turned. There was a point when I would have loved to make her eat humble pie, but now its just sad.

Do you ever feel ashamed for being secure and not having to worry about losing the roof over your head when others around you are talking non stop about their problems?
