It's the start of fall, and I've found my fingers wandering across the keyboard to my favorite online shopping sites, which also include eBay and Poshmark.
It's easy to justify shopping second hand. The prices are lower and it's better for the environment. However, second hand shopping is still shopping and since I have more than enough, unnecessary.
After examining why I do this, I found it's novelty that I desire. So I have started visiting websites of places I would like to travel to. This serves two purposes. It keeps me off the taboo websites and fuels my drive to direct my dollars to my travel goal.
It's easy to get discouraged when I think of the cost of travel vs buying a few things off my favorite websites. But those purchases add up and that's where You Need A Budget.com comes in. I just got an account and having a snapshot of my spending in front of me is highly motivating.
Anyone else have a spending habit they're trying to break? What are your strategies?
