Rewind: How I Curbed My Desire to Spend

In this week's City Girl Savings Podcast episode, the first of our rewind series, we're rewinding to one of my first episodes of the podcast – How I Curbed My Desire to Spend. I chose this episode to rewind to because it lays out the 2 specific phases of my life where I intentionally decided to control my spending. First, when I had no choice and second, when I wanted to make something of the additional income I started to have.  This episode also breaks down the habits that helped me curb my desire to spend for the long haul. These weren't quick fixes, but true behavioral changes that impacted my impulse to shop and accumulate material things. I hope you can take something from my experiences and apply it to your own situation – especially if you struggle with overspending. Enjoy this first episode of our rewind series.   Here's a glance at this episode: [01:20] There were two specific times in my life where I had to curb my desire to spend. One of those times, I had no choice. The other, I made the conscious effort. [04:31] Although I was forced to get my spending in order, it helped propel me into the mindset of wanting to avoid overspending so that I could get ahead in life. [06:53] I learned an important lesson about myself – I'm a natural-born spender. I can always find something to spend my money on. [11:50] Keeping my goals front and center allows me to constantly remind myself that I shouldn't overspend, especially if it's going to be at the expense of my goals and dreams.   Rate, Review, & Follow: Did you love this episode?
