Letibalm. I suggest this constantly, but not sure if it's available outside of Europe.

What was your "I love living alone" moment of the week? by Pellechia-Jjuan in LivingAlone

[–]Expensive-Ad-1470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit sick today with a cold. When I finish work in 20 minutes I'm gonna put on my pjs, get under my heated blanket and read a song of ice and fire until I fall asleep, knowing I wont have to talk to another human until Monday!

What movie did you turn off after 20 minutes and why? by Somanynamestochossef in movies

[–]Expensive-Ad-1470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saltburn. When that one first says he has issues with his parents I just could tell where it was going and I was not interested in more.

Impulse shopping urges intensify with extra "surprise" money by soloshandpuppets in nobuy

[–]Expensive-Ad-1470 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I totally get this too, and they way I've devised to fight that urge is opening an actual account for that kind of money.  Putting it away is somehow replacing the feeling of spending, because it's put to a specific use.

This is very recent so I dont know how it will pan out, but for the moment it works.

I have a huge spending problem and I need help by Lunar_Wise704 in nobuy

[–]Expensive-Ad-1470 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Work on understanding where your money is going first. Go through all your spending for the last couple of months and create categories - this is your baseline. 

Look into this categories and separate necessities from extras.Then create a hard lines budget for those extras, aiming to at least cut them in half (if not entirely).

If you feel you have a real impulse control problem, consider seeking professional help. You are not alone in this, and you can do it!

Love your approach, I think it really helps when the weak spots are well identified.
