can‘t stop me from spending money i don‘t have

I’m really struggling financially right now. I just can’t seem to save money properly, and I’ve already spent most of my savings without even fully realizing it. It keeps getting less and less, and I’m starting to get scared that it’s only going to get worse.

I love shopping and even just window shopping. Sometimes I can control myself, but if I’m being honest, if I had more money available, I’d probably still spend a lot.

At the end of the day, I often wonder what I even got out of spending all that money. Most of the time I spend it just to feel good, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I’m still spending money I don’t actually have.

I know I should probably just set aside a fixed amount to save and only spend the rest, but even though I’m fully aware of that, I somehow still can’t manage to do it. And that’s what scares me the most.

And the worst part is: I feel like I need to fix all of this as quick as possible, but right now I just can’t seem to get it under control..

How do you deal with this? What actually helped you stop overspending or get more control over your finances?
Did any of you ever give your money to someone else to manage because you felt like you were losing control?
