Anons how do i save money and NOT cop things.

I started my job 6 months ago under the guise of buying a professional grade drawing tablet.
Here i am, half a year later, still with no money saved, because I can't stop copping fits.

How do you resist the urge? Especially when things will say, "LIMITED TIME ONLY OMF" and you just don't know what you'd do if you never cop the piece.

I just need a tip or two. Would really appreciate it.

>Inb4 get a better job or work longer hours - It's the mental control I need to learn.

>> No.7242078

set goals and dont compromise. i've known what my next piece is for two months and i've resisted buying other things because i know it would make the wait longer and i wouldn't be as happy as if i wait for my grail.

That sounds reasonable. Thanks man. I think in the end, getting the tablet, would make me happier than any shoes or coat possible.
I'm thinking of drawing a chart or something, with a set amount for each paycheck. And sort've, cross off each 2nd week. Pin it onto my door, somewhere noticeable.

>>7242083
That's beautiful...

>> No.7242100

yeah, man. i know that feel. i've been working at a pretty decent job for the last two years and have 0 money saved. every time i got a pay rise I thought, "if i just cop clothes at the rate i was at before i got this pay rise i will be okay," but no. i just spend it all. i've got an addiction now and i'm scared i will never break free of it

>> No.7242107

>>7242100
Do you spend it all online? I was just sitting here thinking... because i do all my shopping for clothes online - if i just withdraw all my cash when i go to the bank, and stuff it in a shoe somewhere, I wouldn't spend it.

Would that work for you also?

here's what I do:

at the beginning of a season, make a list of essential cops. so for f/w this year you might really need to get your hands on rafdidas, a parka, some jeans, whatever.

determine another amount (based on your budget and how much you want to save) that will be spent on random shit, sale items, "limited" items, etc.

alternatively, you could just put away a certain amount of your paycheck into a savings account and forget about it. if you use direct deposit, talk to the people that handle it at your work, and have them split your paycheck up automatically.

ultimately, tho, it comes down to self control. also once you've been "in the game" for awhile, you realize nothing is really as cool as it seems. I mean what did everyone on /fa/ hype up a few f/w's ago? "timeless" pieces like pea coats and desert boots. no so cool now huh?

good luck man. keep in mind no one irl cares about your CPs and thinks your rafdidas are ugly. this is all basically an internet popularity e penis contest type of thing. you'll get better.

ah. I guess I have a different shopping style.

I have a pretty good basics built up now so I just find like five or so more "standout" pieces that I want.

i never used to buy stuff online. i work in central london so i used to just go out to the big department stores during my lunch breaks and cop all the stuff i wanted. that was okay because there wasn't that much stuff each season that i liked. the main problem started when i learnt how to use rakuten and y!auctions. initially i thought it was great because i would save loads of money only buying second hand stuff. the problem is, is that that now i'm presented with hundreds of great pieces every day and because they're all from past collections i feel compelled to cop them otherwise i might never see them again

very high tonight after hanging with my main and that dragons girl fit was just really cool to me.

i know what it seems like, but typing shit just helps me realize it, if you know what i mean.

like now i know i am that much closer to having 2 GFs.
and it's more than just having 2 GFs but the power that they are attracted to.
it's all in reach and i want a vaporwave girl and that was the vibe in that fit.
