News of Spending Addiction Forum

I can no longer control my money spending and it's gone to lengths where I chuck money everywhere without thinking it through. I probably spent $200 recently on youtube super chats. I'm spending most of my money on things I don't need and wasn't planning to get. I have countless subscriptions that I don't need. I need help.

I have a spending addiction and my husband got off the phone with his therapist, at his wits end because he has anxiety and depression, and he offered me a deal. He takes my credit cards and I pay for 25% of the groceries and I agreed. Prior to that I wasn't paying my share of the groceries and he was thinking of leaving me.

I relapsed again today. I just ordered some online stuff.

I am in my early 20s, I graduated college but like most college graduates I am underpaid and it is difficult to find a job. Since I graduated high school I have had spending problems. I spend money I shouldn't for things that I don't need. I never go into debt but I spend to the point that I don't make money. If a monthly income was 2,000, then I'd spend about 2,000 not going ...

Hi,
I find myself influenced by retailers to over purchase things that I don't need. It makes me depressed when I over buy does anyone else feel the same?

This has worked for me and my boyfriend. I waited to post to see how well it would go.

Both of us traded cards, so each of us can see what the other bought on our bank statements. Neither is allowed to hold cash.

Thus far it's been amazingly successful for the both of us. I hope it helps folks here too.
