How do you save money with impulsive thoughts about buying useless stuff? Any tips? Different bank accounts or accounting apps? 🤔

How do you save money with impulsive thoughts about buying useless stuff? Any tips? Different bank accounts or accounting apps? 🤔
diff bank accs and make a savings that you don’t dip into!!!! tap into ur inner self control i also use the app stride to track my income and expenses if that’s helpful!
I am trying to get my banks online and rest to put change money aside for me monthly. Now about impulsively buying stuff….I am in the situation for all my life..huge issue. Lately with my therapist we talk about my impulses and how does my mind confuses at the moment want or actually need. I need deprogramming and not lie to myself when it happens. But it is so hard I have no good spending compass…only when I am brave and say to myself that I have a shopping addiction then i see the issue and it helps. But in general…i am tired of fighting it. I am now trying to learn about sinking funds and have a sinking fund only for impulse buys and fun stuff. Maybe like 30-50€ per month. Good luck to all of us
As I buy things I don’t need, I sell them as the want disappears, and use that money to go into my “impulse fund” for the next time I think I need something but don’t. Currently trying to force myself not to buy the Zelda edition switch when I have a perfect good switch, just not the Zelda design. So I completely understand
I like to impulse buy on Amazon, so now what I do is I put whatever I am thinking about buying into my cart for 24 hours. If I still want it, I wait 24 more. If I still want it and have the money, I get it, but most often by then I am obsessing over something else and don't get it, lol.
