I’m not going to lie… retail therapy is super helpful. I always feel way better swiping my credit card after a rough day… most of the time I buy stuff that I really don’t need. But the voice in my head justifies the boots that I just bought as investments or the new shirt as a need not a want… To be honest… I probably shouldn’t have that philosophy. In the long run… wasting money on stuff like this may give you satisfaction, but in the long run… doesn’t help you financially.
I was told that before I pull the credit card out from now on… I need to determine if what I’m buying is an investment or a throwaway. If it falls into the investment category… then swipe the card if not… don’t touch it… This takes a lot of self-control, but you can do it, friend! I promise you can!
