My Name is Wilf and i am a shopaholic.......

*Wilf*

As the title says i am a total shopaholic i will buy anything, i have to spend money.

I have started looking at what i spend my money on and its ridiculous, i buy clothes food more clothes house things. I have so many things with labels on its untrue.

I haven't got too much debt only 2k but i have no savings nothing to fall back on if anything went wrong so i need to curb my habit and get some money saved just for silly things like tyres and mot's etc.

Hi Wilf

Nice to see a another Newbie! I am the same, I go out of my way to go into a shop if I haven't brought anything, recently that shop has been waitrose, which is not great for the wasit line!! Good luck!

Hi Wilf,

Are there any things with receipts/labels on that you might be able to take back to get refunds?

To build up a buffer, a store cupboards challenge is always good too. The Old Style board is good for that.

Only other advice really is not to go shopping without a shopping list, and stick to it.

Lots of people find spending diaries good for spotting where the money is going.

Anyway, good luck with the NSD

Good luck. Don't forget the pennies do add up and do an SOA so you can see how much money you should have at the end of the month and where you have been going wrong
