Finally getting rid of Vinted
Hey, I wanted to share something with you in case my story helps anyone struggling with their shopping addiction.
I've dealt with overspending in my early 20s, but things improved years later when I met my partner and my life became more stable. I managed to stop ordering online most of the time and often bought only what I really needed in stores.
Fast forward, I joined the Vinted app. I initially wanted to sell a few things and declutter my house. I also wanted to get rid of old clothes that didn't fit me anymore. However, I found myself buying items here and there.
Over time, I bought more and more, and this really added up. My house is cluttered again, and my bank account is drained. I only sold a few outgrown toys from my daughter. Huge bags of old clothes still hang around, and I’ve also hoarded new stuff.
Now, I've decided to put a stop to it. Instead of waiting months for things to sell and getting annoyed with the process and customer service, and continuing to buy and spend more, I’ve put my account on holiday mode. I’ll wait until my last transaction is complete and then delete the app for good.
It's a shame how much money I’ve wasted. I'd rather give my items away for free to charity than stay on Vinted, barely sell anything, stay mentally preoccupied with the never-ending pile of items, and keep spending more.
Can anyone relate?
