Answer #1

its still an addiction though and its not a very good ont to have, also not the best one when it comes to money try this… when you think of buying something, dont have a look at it, picture what you would do with it or use it for imagine you have it and are using it… and then leave it there, wait at least a day before going back to the store and having a look at it again after youve had a long hard think about it, youll be able to think more clearly and then you can decide if its something you really want to spend your money on start off with a day or two of waiting and then work up to a longer period try to hold off your urges nbecause whatever it is, its probably going to be in that store for a while and even if it does end up going, remember that its not the end of the world

Answer #2

Well now that you’ve realized this, you should try to control and be aware of your spending when you are upset. Just ask yourself “Do I really NEED this?” when you’re tempted to buy something.
