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?
I think you are struggling this because you have money to buy more than what you needed to spend,well for me this is just a normal feeling that you and the other that have with the same situation. And maybe you are still single the very reason you are easy to go with your emotion of excitement. But of course it is important to realize that not all the time you will standing on the same situation, and this realization is powerful enough to refrain little by little from your habit.
