“How to Conquer Your Spending Triggers Like a Champ”

Here are some examples of some triggers you may lie and tell yourself followed by advice to overcome the trigger:

•“I Deserve It” Advice: “Temporary purchases won’t give you a permanent solution or solve the underlying issue.”

•“Everyone else has one” aka “Keeping up with the Joneses. Advice: “Use the images you see on the internet as inspiration, not an indicator of what’s really going on.”

•“I’ve reached my goals; let’s celebrate!” Advice: “Wait a week after the win to celebrate, that way you can really celebrate what’s important: the next step in your life.”

•“It’s on sale!” Advice: “Don’t fall victim to marketing messages. You were getting along just fine and you can live without it!”

Most importantly, acknowledge the factors that trigger spending and how they appear in your life.
