Overspending Series Part #3 - Overspending Buddy
Have a buddy who has agreed to help you handle your compulsion to spend. Your buddy could be a friend, relative, or your spousal partner. It could even be someone who is an overspender, too. When you find yourself getting the urge to jump in the car and head for the mall, call this person instead. Let your buddy help you get through your temptations.
