If this works for you then that's great but it doesn't work for me. The biggest thing that's worked for me, that would hopefully help someone else too, is to not be so emotional over your money but instead look at it as numbers. Each dollar needs a job and a place to be (basically a budget) and the key to sticking with this is to not tie emotions with your money.

Reply to LPT: A good financial habit to get into is treating money as hours of work. Ask yourself how many hours of work something would take if you buy it. The awareness of the amount of time you put into purchases helps reduce compulsive spending. by humvee911
