When my company offered me the chance to work from home, I jumped at the opportunity. I had estimated that I would save about $200/month between gas and eating out. I may have been correct about that, but I can't stop seeing things on my house that I want to change.

I've spent a fortune and I can't stop. I've spent $30,000 in the past year on renovations, almost of it on credit. There is a ton of other work I will likely do as soon as I'm able to borrow money for it.

I wish I could be happy with a $20 handle of bottom-shelf vodka like all the alcoholics in my family. I made a very deliberate effort to not repeat their mistakes, but I've just traded one life-ruining addiction for another.
