How do I stop buying things?

How do I stop buying things?

• I love researching new purchases and then buying them. This gets expensive.  I don't feel buyers remorse after purchasing but I've just got a lot of stuff that I don't really need. How do I stop this compulsive shopping (on-line and offline)?

• Answer:

  I love shopping as well and would usually end up buying things that I dont need. Then a friend of mine said to me that you keep buying things which you dont need and someone who actually does need those gets deprived.Things would run out of stock because of people like you who buy things without needing them. Also since the price of a commodity is often affected by its demand and shortage of supply so maybe people who actually need that item are not able to afford it as its already taken by people like you. Thus you end up spending unnecessary money on things and also other people get affected because of you. I found it quite true and I think four times before buying anything now.
