How can I stop spending money I don't have?

I really enjoy shopping, but I think well, that I waste a lot of money. When I go shopping I tell myself “I am just going to buy what I need” but I always end up buying a whole lot of things I don’t really need. What can I do about this?

Answer #1

One thing that always works is work out a budget on how much you wanna spend a month on shopping when you reach the limit stop. No matter how hard. Another thing that always works is take the exact amount of money in cash for what you need and leave all cards at home.

Answer #2

Dear Shopping Maniac, My best friend has the same problem as you do. What you should do is try to go shopping just twice a month. So at least you won’t waste as much and you’ll buy what you need.
