Prioritizing Your PRIORITIES....

Why is it that some of us have a difficult time prioritizing your PRIORITIES. I don't think there's one person on this planet that can say THEY LOVE PAYING BILLS. I was always taught that you take care of HOME FIRST, and everything else is SECONDARY. I haven't always lived by this rule though lol. There were times when i would choose to spend my bill money on shoes, clothes, eating out, going to the clubs, and after the money was spent, i would be in panic mode because i didn't take care of my bills. I was a compulsive shopper at one point, i didn't care about paying bills i would have rather looked GOOD..<----that's terrible. I had to learn the hard way though. Not only did me NOT PAYING my bills almost cost me JAIL TIME, but i found it difficult GETTING DRESSED IN THE DARK. So i had to get my shit together, and i must say i love that i have a nice home, with lights, water, cable, and gas. <----this is far more important to me then JUST LOOKING GOOD..:)
