How do you stop yourself?

Before purchasing anything just think about is it really useful.. and just check the Wardrobe what we have already.

I have money automatically go into savings from my paycheque. I shop without my money with me and leave the store to think before I buy something. Sometimes I go back in and buy it but sometimes I don't. I think about what I really want to have money available for, to help me set it aside. I think about what I have to go home and get rid of if I buy something new. I have enough stuff, so something new coming in means at least one thing has to go out. That stops me buying things.

My earning days are over and I spend on those I need now, no more long-term thinking. Even earlier, I was never a spendthrift though we managed to visit many countries - siva

the only thing besides things that I actually need, that I buy are movies and books.

Split your money for each thing bills , savings and things you want evenly. Split it evenly

I always think of what ifs and the consequences if I buy too much of this or that :)
