Do you shop when bored, stressed, or after scrolling online? Recognizing the cause helps control the urge.
Wait at least 30 minutes before making a purchase. Often, the urge will pass!
Limit exposure to sales emails and influencer content that tempt you to buy things you don’t need.
Allow yourself a guilt-free amount for small treats—this prevents overspending later.
Write down what you want to buy and review it after a week. If you still need it, go for it!
Remind yourself how saving money can help with travel, investments, or financial freedom.
