berenger Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm finding i'm spending too much money on books, its like a compulsion to me. I can't help looking for them on the internet or going in book shops and buying them I think its the thrill of buying something new and the fact the book may somehow give me some great insight or purpose in life. my savings are going down because of it, though i do still have a good amount saved - i don't want to slowly chip away at it though i try to have other interests to distract me from books and give me purpose but nothing is working yet. I've now got one in mind to buy tomorrow, even though i've bought several this week already. Its costing me a fortune. I do at least start to read them and some i finish. I read for 3 to 4 hours a day usually. I love the escapism of them. Please give advice or suggestions of how to help me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Data Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Get a library card? You should be able to do this for free. Also - try charity shops. They have very cheap books. Reading is a good interest to have . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandalftheginge Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 It's reassuring to know someone else acts this way. I'm so terrible with money, I spend loads on books, games and models believing that somehow they'll make some radical change to my life.
