I used to joke that I had a food delivery addiction.
Maybe you have a shoe addiction.
Or you’re addicted to expensive coffee.
We laugh about it, but here’s the truth:
A lot of us are addicted to overspending.
And it’s keeping us poor.
We use all our money to make other people rich.
We leave nothing for ourselves.
Nothing to invest. Nothing to build wealth with.
Nothing to create the financial freedom we want.
So I borrowed a technique from people who’ve overcome much worse addictions.
Alcohol. Drugs. Gambling.
Here’s what I started saying to myself every morning:
“Today, I will not overspend.”
I don’t worry about tomorrow.
I don’t stress about next week.
Just for today, I’m not doing it.
Once I started this simple practice…
I managed to cut back dramatically on food delivery.
And several other bad spending habits.
The money I was throwing away?
It went straight into my investment account.
Here’s why this works:
When you think about “never spending money on unnecessary things again”…
It feels overwhelming. Impossible.
But just for today? That’s manageable.
And here’s the beautiful part:
Every day you succeed, you get stronger.
Every euro you don’t waste becomes a euro that can multiply through investing.
Every small victory builds momentum toward financial freedom.
Try this technique starting tomorrow morning.
See how you do.
I think you’ll be surprised at how powerful it is.
