I’m glad you’ve fixed the boredom problem. That one gets a lot of people I think.

I am a firm believer that your emotions can affect your finances in a big way because of experience. Hopefully this post will help some people out there.

Sometimes I’m willing to spend any amount of money to overcome something I find really frustrating. (I’m thinking about when I started breastfeeding right now.)

B) One emotion that used to get me spending $$$ all the time? Boredom. I’d have weekends with nothing to do, and I’d fill the time by going to the mall or TJ Maxx or Nordstrom Rack (ok, usually all 3). Now I’ve learned to fill my time better and can keep myself away from the temptation of all the new “stuff.”

It’s not exactly an emotion, but developing a feeling of contentment and gratitude for what you have goes a long way in combating the fluctuating feelings that affect spending.
