Some of you may remember that I spent over $300 when I don’t have the money. Now I am online about to spend more. Please talk me out of it.
hey, Kellie. You need to eat food and pay bills, and maybe if you’re lucky start saving a little bit so when you see something you REALLY want, you can afford to buy it without feeling guilty.
I had the same exact problem,I spend on needless stuff because I cannot endure it…I paid USD400-500 on gaming and some stuff which I didn’t need at all
If it’s not a necessity, then don’t buy it. Fight the impulse, don’t give in. Before you hand the store the money think of all the consequences of your actions. Think it through from beginning to end.
It’s your own life.

I read somewhere to wait two days and then see if you still want/need it. I haven’t been able to do that yet; but, I am improving. I have faith in you.
I might sound insensitive…but right now …
i have a really sick kid, 10$ and 2 more days left till my regular income.
So…your first world problem is at least ridiculous to me.
That really sucks. I hope things get better. That said, the existence of your problems don’t diminish or invalidate someone else’s. This is supposed to be a safe space where people can talk about their problems without fear of backlash or judgement.

I barely spend anything these days. Food drinks cigs, that’s it
How’d you go @Kellie did you spend it or not in the end?
Is it for entertainment value that you do it?
Just manic spending sprees?
Do you feel remorse after buying it?
Worth keeping receipts and only buy at places where you understand the return policy fully. Try shopping only at places that you can get a full refund and returning items is easy. Having the option to return goods if you change your mind is very handy if this is becoming a problem for you. A temporary solution to the problem at any rate.
I spent it, it was like $100. But I haven’t had an urge to buy since. Maybe it’s over? Idk…
It was soap, I bought a bunch of soap…
More like random spending sprees… and I feel warm inside after, that’s all.
I was just feeling shitty last day.
Sorry @Kellie i didn’t mean it.
You mean you can’t control yourself enough to resist buying things? You may have an addiction.
