get rid of your debit and credit cards, use money orders and cash to pay your bills, its a pain in the butt, so it will make it hardier to spend, and alot of times, spending cash is hardier than using a card. Tell yourself u can only go to the store one day a week, write a list, following a list sucks to. Give yourself a spending budget to waste, if u go over it, u take it out of next month, that sucks to. I just gave myself ideas, thats really sucks for me, bummer I start with a litttle here, little there and then its all gone, then its like i only spent a little here, little there. I tried putting 25 in saving a week but u know how that works u save then everything goes wrong because u have extra money Hahahah. I have to tell u a quick story , my neice works at a store, she bent over the lottery machine and acciently touch it and it printed out a ticket and their was a guy in their and he bought the ticket because he said it had to be lucky because of how she printed it. funny and horrible at the same time right lol Good luck
