Change Your Spending Mentality Before you could blindly buy anything, think about whether this purchase will help you make more money or simply empty your wallet. Don't you think it's time you should stop impulsive buying, stop buying things to feel better. You only buy things you honestly need to better your life. Take a look at last month's bank statement. What did you spend money on that was not necessary for your survival? Add those to your 'Don't' list. Avoid spending money recklessly. Track your spending, and see what your spending holes are? At the end stop buying things to feel better. Have some self control.
