Question

I had £370 last week and i now only have £180 i have paid my dad keep but i want to stop spending my money beacuse i feel it is becoming a habit i will be driving soon and i am afraid i may not be able to run my car sometimes i think were has my money gone.

Answer 1

i have a tip for you to change your spending attitude. give your self a limit amount of money that you are going to use every week and that limit should not be too big or too small, just enough money to cover your necessity for a week. put aside the remaining money and give it to someone or a bank to keep your money for you and don't touch that money. the logic thing about this is people tend to spend more when they hold more money in them. the lesser money they hold the more thrifty they become in spending that money to suit their needs. try this tip for a month or two weeks and remember that this is for your own good in the long run.

good luck//

Answer 2

set a plan for the remaining money and do not waste it for unnecessary things...

DISCIPLINE is the key

i keep my allowance in a low volt electrified jar. I'm allowed to open the jar once a fortnight due to a timer. This has helped a lot overcome my spend spree.

Spend less. Thanks for the 2 points.

Answer 6

I have this problem too! I just try to keep the money as far away from me as possible when I don't need to spend it on something necessary. I leave it in my bank account, or in a piggy bank. Take your mind off the money and whenever you feel like spending it, weigh out in your mind whether it's really worth buying because chances are it probably isn't.
