how to not overspend on random stuff

Okay, real talk. My bank account is literally crying rn because I keep buying the most random, unnecessary stuff. Like, I have three different aesthetic water bottles and still buy bottled water sometimes? 😭 Send help, before I'm living on instant ramen for real. What are your hacks for *actually* not overspending on random stuff? #budgetingtips #genzfinance #impulsebuy #brokecollegekid

FR, my Amazon cart is a graveyard of things I *almost* bought. What helps me is making a list before I even open an online store or go to a physical one. If it's not on the list, it's a no-go. Strict rules only! 🙅‍♀️

Okay, hear me out: the 'add to cart and forget' method. If you still want it 24-48 hours later, *maybe* consider it. Most of the time, the hype dies down. Saved myself from buying like, three different mini projectors this way. 😂
