For the compulsive shopping I find putting things on wishlists can get me that same pleasure of purchasing but also gives me a chance to wait till I'm in a better mindset and look at the things more objectively on weather or not I need them

@thebrokenwallet 2 года назад

That's a good idea!

@1968mary 2 года назад

I do the same, if it's not something I really need I always wait a month or two and if I don't have the same interest I don't buy it

@@daughteroftheking994 you know some of the shit I've gone through with sexual assault watching my country treet my loved ones like shit the health conditions I was born with that I have been many times abused for having and the abuse I went through in his name i wonder if Jesus had the light job so leave my comments alone your preaching at the most random things is quite blind and nieve to the world around you. But its to be expected by the religion thats followers finds it complementary to be called sheep in church but then call the people who fight for human rights sheep for fighting for a better life for thier fellow man while all the people of your faith focus on politically it how to kill and cause suffering. weather its through leaving women destitute forced to rase the child the government forced them to have despite thier God giving a form of abortion in his own holy text that could be given by a priest who in the time of the Bible would have been the most qualifiedperson around, or through guns given to any maniac who wants one, the justification of slavory through the prison industrial complex, the imprisonment of children for years becuase of a fear that imagrants will take our jobs while we continue to invent ourselves out of jobs and deny wage increases so that people can survive without being unknowing wage slaves and the demonsization to anyone who was not lucky enough have the tools to be able to survive in a capitalist society that tells you to pull yourself up by your boot straps even though that phrase litterly is about trying to get out of the mud by doing something that would cause you to land face first in the mess instead of actuallydoing something that would help. You do not know how much hate is being done in this world in the name of your God even by your naughboors and friends and often times people don't realize the harm they perpetuate through themselves I will be blocking you because I really cannot see you not trying to argue with me and I've already been edging on a panic attack becuase you have no sence of how much trauma and ptsd can hide in your "loving" language that veils its harms to you becuase you did not see abuse with that same language.

@karisap 2 года назад

Another tip is that with sales or getting "a deal" on something, think: "would I still want this if it was full price?" Buying something just because it's a good deal can lead to regrets if you didn't actually need or want that item in the first place - even if it was a low amount, you still spent money unnecessarily.

@thebrokenwallet 2 года назад

That's a great point! Thanks.

@onemoreweirdo207 2 года назад

To be fair, i believe that certain things are more "worth it" when on sale. For example, there is a top I wanted to buy which seemed too expensive for what I'd get, so I'm currently waiting to see if it will go on sale. Of course it's not the same thing as buying somethin just because it's on sale, but I still think the price to quality ratio is important.

@duck1590 2 года назад

I'm from Europe and the idea of wanting salespeople to approach you is so wild to me, if they won't let me browse alone I'm already out of the store, if I need help I'll ask 😅 I think it's because people here usually don't get a commission, so I'm just not used to that kind of interaction and when it happens it IMMEDIATELY feels either like they want to pressure me into buying something or sometimes even like they're scared that I can ruin the items they have in store by browsing myself or something.

@user-is7xs1mr9y 2 года назад

I feel exactly the same. It usually works the same here in Mexico. Funny thing is, workers approach me when I'm just browsing, but when I go with the intention of actually buying something, it's like I don't exist lol.

@butterflyk5604 2 года назад

Same. I'm from Europe too and I always want to be left alone as I may just want to look around. I feel much bothered and pressured when they offer help. If I need help, that's when I'll ask.

@nilimarose 2 года назад

Salespeople greeting and approaching you to ask if you need help finding anything is the norm in the US even in shops where they don't earn commissions. It's a red flag that no one spoke to her when she entered the store.

@monetemery6055 2 года назад

I just left the store EMPTY HANDED. There was a buy 1 get 1/2 off second item. I couldn't find a second item that interested me so I put the 1st back and WALKED OUT. It was REFRESHING😊

@jadegemstone5670 2 года назад

Yes!

@plumdutchess 2 года назад

That's amazing! I know the feeling all to well, forcing yourself to find a second item. Spending money on something that you wouldn't even have bought anyway. It's the same with ordering extra products, just to get free shipping. Spending $20 on something forced, to save $5 on shipping.

@yoursocialmoth 2 года назад

I’m the opposite. Now I have them hold my stuff if they follow me around. Or if I walk in and don’t get greeted instantly I act like a total Diva. I mean snapping, demanding whatever I want. No asking no requesting just straight up treat them like shit. And then maybe buy maybe not. I don’t give them the choice you gonna hear me. Oh and they hate it. I had one lady even say oh I can’t hold stuff for customers. I said well darling if you are going to follow me around like a lost puppy you might as well make yourself useful. Her mouth dropped and her coworkers laughed at her. And best believe she held that shit looking stupid for a half hour.

@z0ara1 2 года назад

Everything you said is relatable, but the one that hit me the most is ''under pressure''. My family and friends keep telling me to buy a car, when I'm just trying to get a house. I feel like I need the house because I can't stand living in my parents house anymore. I'm not American, so culturally, nobody will judge you if you're still living with your parents even if you're in 30s and still single. Their house has become a mini warehouse because they keep buying new things and dust just keeps piling up. Meanwhile, the new house has enough space to keep a car, but I don't think a car is necessary because I can still use my motorcycle just fine and the traffic here sucks as hell. If I didn't know any better, I would definitely buy the car while paying mortgage and burden my future self with impossible wishes and regrets. I'm glad I'm not giving into that pressure.

@jochenschrey2909 2 года назад

I 'm in my 50s and PROUDLY(!) not owning a car, just a tiny Honda. I had bigger bikes before but when you aren't in the mood to waste fuel on joyrides, you don't need those. Friendly coworkers try to nag me, to get another car but I try to explain /discus openly, how that won't make me any happier. After about 3 rounds they seem to understand. In other fields I appreciate friends' shopping assistance. Clothes for example. I usually pick some similary broke gal with good taste and tell goals and budget.

Like does it actually match with anything I have in my wardrobe? Is it good quality or does it look cheap? Will I actually wear this?

@thebrokenwallet 2 года назад

Those are excellent questions, thank you for sharing!

@stepahead5944 2 года назад

Yes. If a store can't be bothered to treat you correctly you aren't obligated to make any purchase. Walk away. Consider another location, the online store, or even another brand.

As a women can relate with the buying of shoes. I have wasted a lot of money on shoes that are still in the box, that I have only worn once because before the end of the night, they hurt my feet and I cannot wear them again. Great video. I make less wasted purchases now.

Don't feel bad about being ignored in a store. I'm a white male and it happens to me all the time. These workers these days just don't care. They're making minimum wage or not much above it and they just don't care. Customer service seems to be a thing of the past. I can always go elsewhere and probably find what I'm looking for at a lower price anyway.

@ormitomimus 2 года назад

My almost shopping addiction helped, when I told myself: "Okay, put anything you want in the shopping card, but pay it later". When I looked into the shopping cart like a week later, in reality, I really needed maybe one item. Also I divide my money into "envelopes" so I save up for all of my bills, my potential bills and then if anything is left, I'll go and buy myself a little treat. It helps soothe that need to spend. With clothes, I try to realistically picture it wearing to see, if it's my real day to day style or my "dream" style. Not having enough space to store excessive crap helps a lot too. Sorry for the word vommit, I just didn't want to forget anything I wanted to say.

@kyris66 2 года назад

I've been quite responsible with my money; I treat my credit card like a debit card and I have a budget and savings set aside every month. This new year though my financial goals are to escape the hedonic treadmill because I tend to want pretty things when I'm stressed and to invest more of my money. Great tips, BTW. I would also add to the uncomfortable part - don't buy 'aspirational' clothes. Clothes that you think you will fit after you do xx or yy. Just buy clothes that actually fit you at that moment and you'll feel much better. This rule has served me really well when clothes shopping.

Also make a savings account and randomly put money in there!! 1) You will see that you don't have much money in your main account, so you won't spend it 2) You will always have extra money 3) It feels nice when you can see how much you have in your savings 4) Sometimes putting your money away makes you feel better

@darnielladd6131 2 года назад

I have definitely been ignored and given the "ew poor person" disgust look. I own expensive clothes but they are lowkey and I don't like to flaunt and I also look young so I feel like some people might think I'm some annoying high schooler. I'm not rich by any means but I live at home and don't pay rent or groceries so I have more cash than most people my age. School is expensive though so that's where most of my money goes.

You speak so much truth - I like what you said about shopping being fun to do, but a habit you shouldn't get into.

My mamma did not raise me that way!! So thanks for your thoughtful advice!

thank you for this! I really loved your insight. at one point I noticed I was getting caught up in "brand names" even if the quality was bad.. and I would wear brand logos on everything I owned from workout gear to purses, even if the quality was subpar and I was only paying for the name. a big thing that shifted this for me, was thinking "if this item didn't have the logo/brand, would I still love it?". it really makes you clue yourself into what's worth your money. especially when it comes to luxury brands.

Often what I do is I won’t buy it when I first see it instead I’ll wait a week or two and if I still think about it or want it then I’ll go back. If the item is gone then it wasn’t meant to be. (This unfortunately doesn’t really work for thrifting because it will always be gone).

Something that I find really annoying is that I always have huge sweat stains under my armpits in coloured tops. However, this does help me a lot because I can only wear black or white things, with a few things as an exception. So this limits me to things I can buy, which sucks, but also helps because finding things I can wear is more difficult so I can’t really spent a lot of money on clothes, simply because I can’t wear most items.

I DO sometimes just go shopping for the experience of shopping, and do "emotional shopping" for dopamine release. I limit it to X amounts of times a month, and budget for it. I go without my wallet, and only cash so it's impossible for me to overspend, and I usually go to thrift stores or antique stores because a) I'll spend more time looking for things, and I'm there more for the experience than for actual items and b) usually I can get more stuff with less money. Sometimes I rethrift the stuff I buy to the same store lol. This for me is worth it. People will spend a lot of money for experiences like say, going to a theme park, just for the memories and the actual experience. I do that with shopping, I know it makes me happy, but I set limits and do it smartly so that I don't have any monetary regrets.

And for me, supporting other friends who own small dropship business. Ugh i just dont use or like the item but thinking i helped, i just look at the items with mehh

@imalrockme 2 года назад

I hate that. After making purchases to some friends, I just stopped. Two reasons come to mind: 1) if you need friends to help you, than it's not a durable business, get the hell out.; 2) I wouldn't do that to a friend - start a business just because I won't put effort in doing or searching for something else - and impose myself to my friends, making them purchase stuff so I can pay my bills. Not fair.

I have literally never looked anything like this up and I got this in my recommended after talking about it. Didn’t think youtube did the same thing as advertising does. Creepy.

this is an elaborate way of saying don't spend money you don't have, on things you don't need, to impress the people you don't like

I disagree on sunglasses. The cheap one hurt my ears and give me skin rash, I went to Costco bought a good quality pair and put prescription in it is comfortable and protect my cataract from the UV.

if you work, pay your bills on time and have money left over then do what you want with it....spend £/$500 on those trainers you like, oh that a cool table yeah ill get that. dont hesitate, dont think is it a waste of money, no it is not a waste of money, you earned it, spend it all. ''oh im a saver, i save all my money'' why? for what reason? ive never understood people who dont spend money.
