I spent money crazily when I was manic. What precautions do you put in place to try and prevent overspending. Or any other behaviours that can cause problems within your home or relationships.

I don't.
 That's how I spent 8,000 dollars last month. I'm not stable enough to care yet!  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I transfer money to a friend's bank account. I'll try (or just do) spend a lot of money paying for dinner in restaurants and drinks and things like that. Buying presents. I'll spend it on them and (not really for that reason, but it might help) they are willing to support me financially if I need help. I have problems with abandonment and paranoia, so that's also why I do that.
And I don't have a credit card. Just a debit card. Consumer credit is quite bad. Especially because you (almost) pay it back twice, through inflation and by repaying the loan with interest. The more money people have, the higher the prices. Regrettably, that means that taking out a loan is not as bad for you as it is for others that don't. But regardless, it's bad and probably unnecessary.

Spent $100,000 in a year - but it was a hell of a year!
Obviously though, I regret it. After I've paid my bills and rent at the beginning of each month I give my father the balance of what I have. I hate it and feel like such a loser having to do so but it is the only way I have found to not let my spending get out of hand. I go to him to 'withdraw' the funds. It does in fact prevent me from spontaneous decisions. I still don't end up with savings but I at least don't run out of money for food because of some stupid spending. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
