Me and my money trauma 😅 #shorts

Here's a peek at my 20s and some of my 30s. I really thought I could shop my way to happiness but I was hiding from my anxiety and my feelings of inadequacy.

I even went through a phase where I had terrible insomnia and would online shop to pass the time at 3 am. Packages would arrive at my door and I wouldn't even remember ordering them.

It's always a good idea to step back and think about WHY you are spending the way you are. And don't beat yourself up about it. We literally have commercials shoved in our faces 24/7. All of social media is a giant commercial. So having the self-control to stop before hitting checkout takes some practice and self-awareness.

And I don't want you to focus on cutting things out. Instead, focus on automating your expenses, saving, and investing so that you can spend guilt-free.
