Does anybody else struggle with obsessive compulsive shopping? I have the worst time of it in the spring. I didn't really know that it was a "thing" until I Google searched it today.

The only thing that keeps me from spending compulsively is obsessively telling myself I don't have the money. But then obviously, it turns to obsessing, and I spend hours virtually shopping and dreaming about what I "could" buy if I just had more money. And I'm just now realizing how incredibly not helpful that is!! What in the world do other people do to help themselves out with this?

I have a small ($70/month) allotted amount of money to spend in our budget, but I'm not sure if this "play money" is a good idea or a bad idea. I'm not sure if it hurts or helps more.
