I order things on the internet A LOT. Now I have an account and I keep spending everything. I can not stop buying things and I compulsively want to buy everything I can find online. I spend a lot of time on the computer. I also spend a lot of money on snacks. So the other half of my money is spent buying candy and chips. is it normal I always do this?
I also have put a few of Amazon's employees kids through college. I can't help myself with their GREAT prices.
I have the same problem. I no longer go on ebay because I just can't resist the temptation of buying something. Now I see myself playing on facebook and spending money buying lives and brownie points. I really should stop this bad habit. I'm not even that rich!
I have the same issue, save for the fact that I have bills to pay and I refuse to get into any debt for it with my credit score being actually decent.
I love going on Amazon or Ebay and looking up Sailor Moon stuff or Pokemon stuff - stuff that I wanted as a kid that I can actually HAVE now.
You need to put your money where you can't so easily spend it, possibly a savings account. I try to keep my savings account to a minimum. I have a credit card that has a kick ass credit limit but my credit card is forbidden territory. I do have self control. Just takes a minute sometimes.
Give yourself an allowance, there's no reason to not indulge yourself. It's easier to save when you know how much you'll be spending. Try to put away at least half if you have no bills to pay.
You already know it's not normal. I'd guess you're probably overweight too. You need to control your eating and spending habits before you get yourself into physical and financial trouble. There are a lot of self-help groups available.
Would you be willing to buy me something online instead? c:
Seriously though.
If it makes you happy, and doesn't get you into any financial issues then sure. Why the hell not?
