It's really easy when you don't have a choice.

I probably never would have begun to think about my spending had I not quit my job. I’ve needed every last penny that comes my way over the last year. I’ve still got a lot of habits to break – but impulse buying now comes with more guilt than I can justify.
My advice – pretend you’re completely flat broke. That makes the spending a whole lot less fun. Do yourself a favor and put more money than you want to into a savings account or a retirement fund. Pretty soon you’ll forget you ever had that money in the first place.
