Here’s how to stop buying random stuff:  Today, most of us keep the world’s marketplace on our person at all times (aka that phone in your pocket). Personalized ads on your social media feed, influencers in your face with “life-changing” products, and the Amazon app always waiting for you…  Try these 2 tips to break the spend cycle: 1. Shop online with purpose - the same way a grocery list will keep you on track at the grocery store, you should also have a plan when you log onto an online marketplace. Not just scroll without a purpose, because most likely something you don’t need will end up in your cart.  2. Stop solving problems with new products - Do you really need a cell phone stand for your desk, or can you just lean it up against a few books to see incoming messages? With a little bit of ingenuity, you might find you can solve simple problems with items you already have, and at least delay the next online order. #savingmoney #Budgeting #familyfinance #finance #PersonalFinance #money
