How to stop my spending habit?

I always buy things I do not need, and it is very tempting.
I spend money as soon as I hear something good on a Commercial
I do not save, instead I spend a lot, so it is problematic for me.
 
Make spending money inconvenient. Only carry cash and just enough to get the essentials you need. Then you have to go to an ATM or a bank during working hours to get money out. Do you have a lot of compulsive shopping habits? Like you see something that is really cheap and even though you don’t need it you get it anyways? If that is you, take the time to write down everything you purchase. Actually seeing what you are spending your money on can help. I did that and realized that I was blowing a ton of money making daily stops at the grocery store for dinner each night. Now I go once a week and spend a fraction of what I had been spending and don’t waste nearly as much food. Also, I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 22. Didn’t realize I had such a big problem focusing until college! Anyways, I do take medication and have noticed my compulsive spending habits have changed. Although not all the time, people with ADHD tend to have compulsive personalities or habits. Good luck!
