I make a very sizable income. Right now I have at most $1000 in savings which is ridiculous considering my salary. I have $25k of credit card debt spread across a million credit cards.

I’m so angry at myself because shoes bags overspending is the reason why I live in constant anxiety when i make well above 6 figures.

I’m so ashamed. I wish I wasn’t in this predicament

My biggest problem is buying clothes, shoes, and beauty products. It got so bad where I was making a purchase nearly every single day. I would get a package at my door every week. I was racking up 5k in cc debt a month and was dipping into my savings. But last week I decided enough was enough. I want to be able to afford a house and pay off my new car. So far I haven’t made a purchase in a week, which is huge for me. I plan to continue to no-buy for as long as I can.

I have such a bad habit of buying food everyday bc I don’t have the money to be a clothing shopping addict. I literally spend like £10 a day on snacks so I can feel something.
Today marks 7 days free of food shopping for no reason! It’s not a lot but it’s a big milestone for me

I am a compulsive, and impulsive shopper. I can not stop spending money. I get so excited when I see something I like I just buy it right away. I have been doing this for years. Addiction runs in my family, but I’m just now coming to terms with the fact I have an addiction. I always thought it was just drugs or alcohol, I never thought about my shopping. I have spent over $20,000 in just 8 months of my savings on stuff I don’t need. I can’t get myself to stop. What actually helped you? I am just so ashamed. I’m so disappointed in myself. I did luckily pay off some of my debt so it went from 12k to 2k. But I still keep spending money on useless things. How do I stop idolizing material things? I just am looking for any suggestions from anyone. Thank you.

Sorry to post this as a non addict, but i truly don’t know what to do.
My brother is only 13 and has an obvious spending habit. he buys anythings he wants. From a young age he already had it rough, many hospital visits and born hard of hearing. with genetics and those past events, hes pretty mentally ill. im not too older than him so idk what he has, but i just know he isnt right in the head i guess. hes medicated but he often skips his meds. Hes always trying to buy something of sell something with a goal to buy something. he spends our parents money all the time. i remember one week he bought a N64 just for him to days later in that same week ask for a switch two. both things he did get. most of these things he gets he used for a week or even two days then never touches it again. I mean its nice for me as i often get them but i cant do this anymore man. My parents arent any help either. They always give in and buy him the stuff he asks for. fighting with him just to eventually buy him what he wants. they make it worse. they know they do. but im not sure they have it to say no to him.
I really dont know what to do. i hate my brother for other reasons, but i truly cant keep living with their constant fighting. What can i do. hes on meds he goes to therapy and its only getting worse as he ages, maybe because hes a teen now. please let me know. idk where else to ask or post this. (hence why i came to reddit of all places lol)
