HELP! I’m spending mindlessly

Make yourself a weekly budget to pay for essentials and stick to it.

You are an independent adult and need to show a lot self-control.
Along with some spine and common sense.
It is time for you to stop wasting your money during a very serious uk cost of living crisis where so many British people can't afford to buy food or nappies for their babies.

Ditch the takeaway meals, unhealthy packaged snacks, ready meals and booze.
If you are regualarly spending money on taxis, uber transport or expensive branded items- stop.
These are luxuries until you have a full time job paying well above minimum wage.
Focus on free methods of transport around your local area like walking, jogging, using a bicycle if you already own one.
Buy low priced supermarket & discount store versions of your favourite pricy branded products like heinz, hovis, walkers and yeo valley.
Good luck!

It's great that you're recognizing the issue and seeking help, that's the first step towards making positive changes. Start by tracking your spending for a month to see where your money is actually going. You can use apps, spreadsheets, or even a simple notebook. This will help you identify areas where you can cut back.

Thanks I’ll try do that. I wanted to open a saving account but I don’t want any interest and what not so I’ll try a mondo card. Do you have one?

It's a great recomendation. but I've got the same problems. I tried to write lists for shopping, but nothing changes) I don't buy expensive clothes, and don't often buy them. I analized my spending. must say that most of money I spend on entertainment)
