Genuinely how do I get rid of my spending problem? I swear whenever I get paid I wanna buy stuff and it ends up being something that only gives me like an hour of satisfaction max or is something that I just don’t use at all and I wanna start saving money

say you make $15 an hour and want a new pair of jeans that are $75. tell yourself “would i work UNPAID for 5 hours to get these jeans?”

Just budget, if you wanna buy something instead of impulsively buying it set money aside every paycheque. Also once you start growing your savings it’ll become addicting & your spending will decrease. Consume more videos on financial literacy & saving. Also just remind yourself why you want to grow your savings. Good luck!
