Topic: How do you keep yourself from spending on unimportant things? - page 4. (Read 1749 times)
Something that might not be important for you might be important for another person and vice versa. Staying away from spending on unimportant things can sometimes be very cumbersome as one might decide not to waste money on one particular thing but then, sometime to come, you might be craving for it. Personally, I have realized that, when I don’t keep enough money on me and I prioritize carefully with the money I have on me, I don’t spend on unimportant things. I think prioritizing well and making sure the money you have on you is meant your basic needs and not unimportant things will help you keep yourself from unimportant stuffs.
I have a few simple things that I do, firstly whenever I decide I want to buy something I always wait a period of time after that initial decision, let's say 2 weeks, if after 2 weeks I still want it then I ask myself why I really need it and if it will improve my life, if the answer is yes then I'll buy it.
What if its a life changing decision and you need to decide as soon as posible or othet people might get that chance to grab it on your hands. But still that style might get work well.
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?
By budgeting our money properly, we can keep our self from spending on unimportant things. I can save more money because I know how to budget properly, I always saying to myself that I'm wasting my money if I will buy unimportant things.
When I see what I like, I buy it, I don't have to buy it, I control myself.
I have been reminding myself that I have experienced hardship, so I need to spend my money wisely.

For me, I don't familiar with this kind of situation because when I buy some item or things I'm sure that I need this stuff or it necessary. Yes, you are right in this part that you want to set your goals financially, set limits on spending because you can save a lot of money and time if you have a plan. I just want to advise you that maybe you should try to bring a small amount of money when you want to go out or if you will buy this particular stuff. Also, try to have a piggy bank so that you another wallet or savings. But it sounds that you could afford to buy those unnecessary things without hesitation, I think you should just invest this kind of money so that at the end of the day you have another source of income.

that's why it's so important for everyone to be able to manage their finances properly. and I think everyone will experience things like that in which they can not control finances because they do not think of things that should not be bought. and in my opinion is the first thing to do of course we must be able to change such thinking. but all will be useless if we do not realize our mindset to be able to realize it in everyday life about things that are not too important to have.

In advance made list of necessary things and strict maintenance of planned allows to avoid excess expenses.
I simply buy the things I need. I do not buy anything according to inspiration or buy in bulk. If you buy without using it, it means throwing away.

Wer'e the same, I also set a financial goal and plan but our difference is before I decide to spend my money I balance first the things that Im going to buy if it is important to my needs or just a luxury and not helpful for my future life. But ofcourse Im not perfect and I also buy the things that satisfies me but in a proper way. 
Before purchasing something that is not related to everyday needs you have to think twice and realize whether a thing you want to buy makes you better or helps you to achieve something.

Try to create your own timeline of achievement and always look for those things if you already reach some of it when you want to spend your money on unnecessary things.

i do have same problem woth yours and im a bit afraid that what im doing is useless. I got a good money right now and im spending it for triathlon. Triathlon is very costly and im afraid i cant do it for a long time and it seems wont be good for my life cause i would not be like no body else ( having family work and lookog for a good payment). But i just got this dream and i just want to give it a shoot so here i am trying my best and i will try to win it. Its true when you have more money you will spend it more thats what i learn from college. So what happen on you and me is something that happen to everyone but what you need and i need is to know the extent and how to stop wasting it.

Just like someone said, you should always make budgets and plan yourself before anything you’re doing. And after that take a little extra money in case something else comes up you can be able to tackle it. If you begin to make plans, know how much you want to spend and how much you want to save by the end of the month, then you will be able to avoid unnecessary spendings everyday. So start making plans.
I usually spend my money in an unimportant things when I'm bored in that they or something that I just like it but I don't really buy something that are not needed to my house and to me. So meaning that it's up to the person who bring their self to a good mood.
