How I Curbed My Desire to Spend

Before City Girl Savings, there wasn't anything I wouldn't spend my money on. I would constantly be out shopping. After facing a potential eviction, I was forced to get my spending in check. There's a different level of drive when you're forced to do something! I learned that I'm a natural-born spender, so I have to always be mindful and prioritize what's important. I shifted my focus to the things that mattered most to me. I started setting and achieving goals. Anything that wasn't helping me get closer to my goals wasn't important and didn't need money dedicated to it. Start getting clear on what matters most to you! Focus on those things and you'll find the desire to spend when you don't need to slowly subsides!
