Provide a sincere response to these questions:
1.) Does your boyfriend or spouse gripe about your excessive spending?
2.) Do you find it surprising every month to see how much more you actually charged than you initially estimated when you receive your credit card bill?
3.) Do you own more clothing and shoes in your closet than you would ever need?
4.) Do you get every new device before it has a chance to gather dust on a store shelf?
5.) Do you purchase items that you didn't realize you desired until you saw them in a store's display case?
You engage in retail therapy and are an impulsive spender if you said "yes" to any two of the above questions.
This is not advantageous. It will keep you from setting aside money for retirement, a new car, a house, or a trip. You have to have some financial objectives and refrain from wasting money on things that are ultimately unnecessary.
Impulsive spending strains not just your bank account but also your relationships. The first step towards solving the issue is to understand how to distinguish between your necessities and wants.
Advertisers constantly bombard us with their products. The secret is to allow oneself some time to cool off before making any unforeseen purchases.
Make a list before you go shopping and only bring enough cash to cover the items on your list. Don't bring your credit cards with you.
Give yourself two weeks to determine whether or not you truly need whatever you see, even if you think you can live without it. You may repair your relationships and your finances by using this easy fix.
