Week 3 of my new rule

Good for you! My shopping compulsion is primarily makeup and skincare (though I’ve been known to binge-shop clothes and other fashion accessories a few times/year.) I put a check on my spending a few times by, instead of buying the items I want, tallying the total for them and then move that amount out of my checking account into a savings account, telling myself that, if I still had the money in that account at the end of the month, I could use it to buy the items I wanted. I learned right quick that I needed that money for bills and living expenses; so far I’ve never had that money at the end of the month to buy what I was “saving” for.
