Guys,
I am addicted to shopping (clothes, shoes, bags). I have also been spending a crazy amount of money on superfoods, skin care etc. I was never a big spender but idk what's happened to me in the last few months. My new favorite past time is literally scrolling through the Ann Taylor page or reading up articles on the best Spirulina to buy. PLEASE HELP. Don't want to start a pattern of reckless spending.

Sorry to hear about your addiction. Not cool. Can help. Always taking donations. This should help.
You want the Ann Taylor skirt?
We normally take bills and by CC, but that too should work.
dude if I had bills, would I have posted this
Only you can really stop your own addiction, but may I suggest whatever amount you are going to spend, just have a rule to force yourself to invest the same amount of money? E.g. if you're going to buy a $1,000 handbag, make sure you also invest $1,000 in an ETF. That way, at max you're spending half of your excess money and you're investing for the future. At that point, at a 50% savings rate, you'll be fine even if you spend the rest. If you can't afford to buy it twice, you can't afford it.
Watch graham Stephan on youtube - that will help you a ton
Honestly, you should just live your life. If you get a dopamine rush from online shopping instead of working out or doing healthy activities outside then you should embrace it as long as you hit your saving/investment goals.
This has to be a dude trolling.
Unfortunately no..
Put on the Dave Ramsey podcast for a bit, an hour or two of him screaming in your ear about spending can be helpful.
There are free site blockers for your Mac/laptop that will block access to websites you specify. You can also download the same for your phone. You can de-install it whenever you want.
Only an addiction if you tell yourself it is. Instead of saying "Woe is me, please someone help me fix this horrible problem I have" just tell yourself "shut up nobody cares." Everyone has adversity, and if yours is that you spend too much money, take a step back and think of the millions of worse problems or addictions you could have
