Are you used to spending money on only necessary things, ignoring your true desires?

There is an explanation for this bad habit, namely, certain psychological factors.

Spending money on yourself is most often prevented by the fear of loss, obligations to other people, the habit of avoiding what you want, and so-called material trauma.

How to cope with such psychological attitudes? The answer to this question is given in the second part of our material.

Next, make a list of what you would like to spend money on and distribute your finances according to the list.

Whenever you have doubts about spending, tell yourself nice and reassuring things.

You can also resort to rationalization. Explain to yourself why it is important to spend money on your needs (because it will have a beneficial effect on your psycho-emotional state, etc.).
