- Willpower. Getcha some.
- Do not take any money or credit cards or debit cards when you leave the house. only take cash when you go to the grocery store, and go no-where else except the grocery store if you are carrying money.
- put a picture of your trip and a picture of university u want to attend around ur money. each time u open wallet u have to chose spend or goals. burn ur slave credit cards and close then will save u thousands. visit dave ramsey.com to learn the new reality of money.
- You need to shift the way you think about shopping. The ads, the goods in the store, are all meant to take money out of your pocket and put it into the hands of corporations. Imagine them as a big sucking machine; an enemy you need to protect yourself against. When you change your view to be as I describe, you'll be very focused to only get what you absolutely need and laugh at all the gullible people that can not resist immediate gratification purchases.... purchases, that seldom make your life any better than before you knew of their existence.
- my sister had this same problem she and her husband came to a compromise she bought if it was something that was not necessary he returned it immediately get yourself a return buddy.
- Theres this website that gives away free stuff. tvs, computers, ipods, game systems, even money. It was tested by NBC and was found to work. you don't even have to stop getting really good stuff while saving. http://www.flatscreens4free.com/default.aspx?r=1085534
