Compulse buying is so easy to do if you're not careful.  I often have to ask myself: Do I really need it or am I buying it just because it's a good deal?  It's usually a good idea to have cash (if possible) on you, so that way you know how much money you're actually spending. I try to keep track of each purchase I make so that why I know how much money I actually have. That's why I try to avoid using my debit/credit when possible.  When I do use it, I have to pay attention so that why I don't go overboard. 

What I try to do is always put a certain amount in savings and give myself a set amount of "spending money" to use. 

actually im really good in spending money , im just 16 but i learn manage my money as well as i can

but stop

never ever i cant control my self when i have standing front of bookstores , i spend all of my money on  books and movies and some times it happend for me that i spend all of my money and i haven't no money for fareing to come back home ....

Hello hello. 
I also spend uncontrollably, and, as soon as I get money in my hands I find a way to spend it as soon as possible. My first passion is good food,  and then I like buying clothes and interesting jewelry. The one thing I give most of my money on is giving certain amounts to people who don't have enough and/or are poor, and hungry. We have an expression in Bosnia it says: "He spends money as if the money itches him." (s he has to give it away asap, so the itch would stop. We're funny people, but still, I spend too much money. :D
