STOP SHOPPING FOREVER \\ I can GUARANTEE you've NEVER heard of this advice...

The first video I've seen about not shopping that says something very useful such as getting involved with the community and not thinking the world revolves around you is a great and new point!

I really struggle with the withdrawals from shopping addiction and no-one gives tips for dealing with this. I ache to shop and its a very uncomfortable feeling.

Hanna I love love love how you got to the core of my shopping problem. I started being a minimalist during my divorce 5 years ago, but I had lost sight of the principles recently. And the oddball tips you gave are what my problem was. I used to love volunteering which is how I coped with loneliness and being broke at the same time. I'm going to try to get back into volunteering. I just subscribed. Thank you!

This video is amazing specially for those of us that know there are emotional reasons for our crazy shopping habits.

What has helped me is not purging. I try to use what I have and shop my closet. Whenever I have tried to go minimalist I end up filling the void again. Closet bulimia ain't pretty. I am focusing on enjoying my stuff and finding other things to do besides shop.

Ever since I started permanently working from home I'm amazed how much stuff I no longer need that's only purpose was getting me to and from work. Rain gear, bags, lunch containers, lunch bags to put the containers into, weatherproof laptop bags, cold weather gear, changes of shoes and jackets depending on weather. And also since I'm at home I'm no longer super worried about what people think of me, my wardrobe/makeup/haircut budgets have dropped significantly. I'd say yes, once you stop thinking the world revolves around you and your ego it does change things. I just need to figure out how to harness that knowledge better. I've also start keeping a spreadsheet of every non-essential purchase this year. It's been interesting. The first three months I was like "I've got this." I was determined, I had set my spending parameters and I was nailing it. I was cured! Heh. Well, April and May have been... not so good. I fell back into old habits and stopped tracking things. I just now forced myself to go through all my records and write everything down and update that spreadsheet. It didn't feel good. I wanted to sugar coat it. But doing this I am seeing some patterns of behavior. At least it's giving me insight into what's going on. What's triggering my need to "treat myself" and whether that treat triggered a spending splurge.

You probably won’t see this but your channel popped up in my newsfeed. This is the third video I’ve watched. I just wanted to say that for someone so young you are very common-sense intelligent! I hope that makes sense. Your advice in this video is wise beyond your years! Excellent video! I’m old enough to be your mother btw!😂

I unsubscribe to sites. They disappear for a while and then suddenly pop back on and then I am back to zero, having to re-unsubscribe!?!

A video about how to stop shopping has the commercial about shopping…. I just went and bought the coach loafers….SCREAM!!!!

Thanks Hannah!👍❤️ I love the giving and volunteering tip especially!

Nice tips Hanna! I find that limiting my visits to target or the mall helps a lot to avoid impulse shopping. Since the year started and we are doing the low buy year I have already change quite a bit my mentality around shopping. As you mention it is hard work to brake this habit but I am positive that after this year I will be a whole new person when it comes to shopping 🥰🥰🥰

This was really helpful with lots of tangible tips!

Thanks for this video, it is one of my favourites. Really helpful.
