Are you familiar with this situation?

I would advise you to research how many people suffer because there is no money, how many people suffer because there is no food, how many people suffer because there is no water to drink, how many people are on the street because they are not home ... how will this help you? Look:



this is my country, see:



Is something very sad, every time you buy something unnecessary, think that you could use this money to save the life of someone who needs of money. every time you buy something unnecessary, think that you may also be in this situation if you do not have brains and spend your money irresponsibly

I like to enjoy every day of my life and dont care much about my future.

 Shocked

who live with you? If this person reads your post, they will run away

The best way for me to stop from spending my money on unimportant things is by going out with just a fix amount of money in my pocket.
In that way I wouldn't spend my money in uncertain things or the things that I don't really need .
It really helps me to save money because even if I am tempted to buy something I couldn't do it at the moment because I don't have extra money in my pocket.

Sometimes I have such cases, but I try to restrain myself from such ill-considered purchases. I inspire myself that I do not really need those things that sometimes I so much want to buy. I convince myself that it is better to spend money on something more useful or to postpone to collect for a large-scale purchase. That is, I try to think in advance, and not give in to gusts.

When going outside, i intended to left my wallet at home and bring just enough money to buy what i need.
I do daily inventory of my expenses to on track of money left. I assign a free to spend money from the excess of my daily budget
This is also nice to keeps saving your money from spending unimportant things. Allow yourself to spend the very important things that you ca survive a day. Always think of saving money for the future without having a goal you cannot do this.

I feel I am buying less things I don't need by getting older, maybe getting more rationnal with experience in life or less materialistic. Hard to tell the reason.

Also following your expenses in detail (like in Excel) can help to minimize useless purchases.

Make money difficult, easy money, want to form good spending habits!

Reasonable planning in advance can avoid irreparable damage caused by bad decision making.

Spend your money on self-investment, by enriching yourself, improving your personal abilities, and making more money.

Focus on the important things only. The things that will take you closer to your goals each day. As you focus more on the important stuff, you will have less time to bother about the unimportant things. This will help you achieve more. And once you form this habit, you will never bother about the unimportant things.

yes that's where the overflow of lust, the nature of human being so calm, I'm also familiar with the situation, so How do i keep myself from spending on unimportant things ? the one way is to restrain the lust and remember about something that has been planned and something that really be a top priority then I suggest that to live a simple life and maintain a lifestyle, which makes a person poor is he has a lifestyle that is more than he has, it is okay to sometimes buy the things we want it, will be an achievement of inner satisfaction. Simple life is the key

Me, as well do not know how to control myself in buying unnecessary things that I also regret later on after buying it and needing money later. No matter how many times I tell myself to do not waste money or to not spend money to not so important things, I always ended buying these things which I really regret later on. It is true that discipline is the only key for us to stop doing things like spending too much especially to things that are not so important and needed. If we only know how to discipline ourselves, surely we can control ourselves from doing such things and save money instead.

I think this attitude of having good discipline in ourselves is a key of controlling our emotion of spending on unimportant things. Because we can really assist ourselves if we really need that things that we are going to buy if it is very useful in our family or in our day to day living. And also having self control and good assessment are the best attitudes to maintained to stop buying unimportant things inorder to save our money for the most needed things in the future.

Some people don't know what exactly their needs and wants so they mistakenly choosing wants versus needs which lead them to more debt and sometimes we spend more than what we earn. So better know your priorities and avoid over spending, make a list of your monthly dues. Yeah it's hard to save when you're not that determined but if you really do then you'll see it's all worth to save up for the future.

almost the majority of people are experiencing problems like those that face it, even including myself, but now the habit is gradually lost from me.

Input from me may also work for you, "Buy something or something to suit your needs, and Do not Buy anything or anything to your liking".

Because if we always obey our wishes, there will never be satisfaction, even if everything you get.

I dont know if it is just me or others also experience it. I always set goals financially, set limits in spending and trying hard to save but most of the time no matter how i tell myself to refrain from spending in unnecessary things whenever i see something i really like even if i dont need it i cant resist buying it that cause me to regret later. Are you familiar with this situation?

Dont apply for credit if you cant control spending in unnecessary things. Or if you already have,  leave it in your home if you are going to the mall or if you can avoid going to malls.  Have someone to remind you about spending habit so you wont go beyond the limit. Make a budget of your money and focus on it. Avoid friends who are happy go lucky.

It's also a problem for me that when I hold a lot of money but often can not manage all the money I hold, buy products that are only useful for a moment but not useful for the future, very unfortunate when buying items that are really not needed and how useless, controlling wasteful habits is difficult, however, it is not impossible to do so, to save expenses, to make sure what you need and how to buy it, only then can you keep your personal financial condition, the most accurate is not to save money cash a little makes me a little sparing often lazy to take money at the ATM and only when in need when taking money.
Of course for people here it is better to invest some money held for the future to improve personal finances sometimes necessary for more important things.

Just tell yourself that if you are buying that thing then you are going down with the investment and making your savings worth savings! There is thing called as finance management and if you try to do it then you will help yourself from spending on unwanted things. I know these kind of expenditures always happen with everyone, even I have spent huge amounts of money on the things which I never wanted to buy. So at the end when you will valuate those things and will ask yourself what if you have put that money somewhere else and gotten huge profits then it could have been something different really. So more or less morality plays the game.

This is one attitude that always keep so many people away from reaching a stage of  financial freedom. Having money is very simple but the ability to control the velocity at which money flows in your hand is the most difficult thing so many people are fighting with. The means at which I use to prevent myself from spending on unimportant things is by keeping my credit card at home when no important financial transaction is not needed.

i use to be like you since i was a boy,i remember that even i have a piggybank but i cant help my self breaking it just to spend my money,because the moment that money crossing my mind all i wanna do is buy stuff or anything that sometimes you will realize later that you dont really need those,but all you want is just to spend..

But things change when i met my wife,since then i let her handle all my financial aspects,i entrusted to her evertthing and thanks to God that she didnt take advantage of my money,and now that we're married things still goes that way.

I feel you mate. It is really hard to refrain yourself from spending. Even if you already know your wants and your needs and be convicted to yourself that you will only but things you really need. You are tempted whenever you see something that you want. Since I almost feel the same way with you, up until now I can't figure out how to refrain myself.

Here is the thing you know, the skills or ability how to manage your own economy is rise by yourself,  well you can also learn about it. But mostly it's all back to you tho, if you wanna do something you need to think of it first, what profit you will get and I think you need to be little bit stingy.
