"I am writing in spaghetti code because the client is not paying me
enough to do otherwise."
When you get good at it, you can't help but write OO-inspired code for
all but the most trivial applications. Writing good code (OO or
otherwise) will always be faster than writing crap. (Assuming you want
the program to work and you still have that job.) Stick with it and
you'll get there.

A "self-posting form" is a view page with a form on it that has the
action set to itself (or left blank, which is the same). The problem
with it is that 95% of the time people put business logic right into the
view page, hence they are not separating out the logic from the view
(separation of concerns).
As Dinner has stated you can use cfincludes or even cflocation to keep
the business logic on a separate page for better maintainability, but
for most spaghetti coders the whole purpose of "self-posting forms" is
to not have to create a new page. Spaghetti coders like to keep all the
meatballs, noodles and sauce mixed together because it takes less time
to plan and organize, which speeds up development, but makes it almost
impossible to maintain.
BTW, I have been a spaghetti coder all the way up until now and I am
currently only working on one project where I have implemented OOP for
the entire application. Also, I am not a computer science major (though
I may minor in it eventually) but I am learning OOP just to get my AS at
my local junior college. In fact, I am working on a website right now
that I am writing in spaghetti code because the client is not paying me
enough to do otherwise.
