I usually feel happy and envy those who save money and use it later but I just came to think of it now I myself spend money lavishly.

This has been a habit which I have been battling with since I was a child but it seems I can't combat it as I even spend money without even realizing it until it gets exhausted and am left with nothing before I'll start to think normal.

I thought it was because I didn't have a bank account so I bought a saving box and started saving I didn't even know what pushed me to start taking out of the money again until the box was empty.

What actually happens is that whenever I have with me that's when I'll start seeing enticing things which I have wanted to buy when I didn't have money sometimes I even buy more than I need or even buy what I don't even need I usually thought of this as a habit but I think its getting worse now I don't have the habit of keeping money anymore the only way I avoid the habit of when I don't take money with me.

Pls how do I avoid reckless spending??

Spending lavishly is no doubt a serious problem. It makes an individual not to have any saving and it will dub an individual an unserious fellow. That's the main reason the problem should be tackled on time in order to prevent all the other consequences that may follow it.

Have to do list. It is very necessary for someone that always spend lavishly to have list of some items that he or she will need for that moment. There is no doubt that human wants and needs are very unlimited. That's why we must have list of those things that are very dear to us.

Reduce friends. Friends are the number factor that determines how we live our lives. They are great influence on all our dealing and they make sure they impact on us positively or even negatively. For someone that's contemplating on having saving. Then there is need not to be moving with some friends that may be of bad influence.

Save first. When we have money either our salary or wherever the money may come from, we should make sure we save first before we start spending. If we decide to spend first, we may end up spending everything.

It is great that you are aware of your lavish spending habits. I think that self awareness is the first step to resolution in such an issue. Once you realize that you spend your money carelessly, you will start making steps on how to start making changes in the way you spend money.

But awareness is not enough to actually start spending wisely. You need to work on saying no to your spending urges. Once you just get the urge to spend in something that isn't actually needed right now, you just say no and avoid buying it. Doing this the first time is so hard, bit the more you do it, the easier it becomes.

Of which you first need to make a budget of your needs and wants. You need to prioritize your needs which includes food, clothes, rent and maybe school fees or a course you are studying. But take care that your needs are reasonable too, like buy clothes that you can actually afford.

Then you need to stay disciplined, that you spend your money on the needs and not wants. Self discipline is something you decide to do and stick to it. When an urge comes, accept it as part of you then say no to it. It makes it easier to be disciplined.

I think there are ways to stop the habit of excessive spending. However, there are some people who are just chronic spenders and no matter how they get financial advice, they would still spend lavishly. Nevertheless, one of the ways to stop spending lavishly is by having a goal. I'll make this clearer by making use of an illustration. For instance, if you set out a goal to either further your studies or build a house in order to rent it out to tenants, this would help to keep your mind focused on how to economize and source for money to complete the project.


There are some people who are so addicted to spending such that, even when they do not have a need for a particular product, they have that irresistible urge to spend money and at the end of it, they would go into borrowing money for more irrelevant spending. Well, one other way to reduce the urge of excessive spending is to opt for a fixed deposit account and save the money for a long-term goal, while at the same time, you make it a duty to devise an ultimate plan towards achieving your goal. Spending is very easy but making money is difficult, hence, we should be cautious.

To stop spending lavishly and to save some more money, you have to first decide fully in your mind. Here are some tips that can assist you save more money and stop lavishing:

1. Go out less often: going out for lunch or dinner alone or with friends take a big chunk of your money. Instead, prepare your meal at home and go out very occasionally.

2. Do not get carried away by buying everything on sale. You don't need all those things that are on sale in order to break your fast. The key is to buy what you really need instead of what is on sale at a cheaper price. A good way to know if you really need something or not is to ask yourself, do I really need this? If yes then buy it, if not then leave it, it will only add up more expenses in your shopping cart.

3. Plan a budget for the entire month and stick to it! Make sure you don't go over budget because that will only add up more expenses and will make it harder for you to save money!

4. Keep track of your expenses throughout the entire month so that you can see how much you are able to save.

5. Don't try to impress anybody.
