The Emotional Spender

You use spending to manage stress, guilt, or unpredictability. Money is tied to emotion for you. Whether it's treating yourself after a hard week or helping someone else out, you often spend from the heart, not the plan.

What This Looks Like:

- Impulse buys or 'treat yourself' purchases

- Helping others financially before helping yourself

- Regretting purchases later but repeating the cycle

- Feeling like money never really builds up

​

Quick Win:

Before spending emotionally, pause and ask: Is this helping me or avoiding something? You don't have to say no. Just bring awareness to the moment.

​

If You're Self-Employed:

This habit can hurt your business without you realizing it. You may invest too quickly, underpay yourself, or over-give to clients. Over-giving often shows up as undercharging, underpaying yourself, or overextending in your business. Let's set boundaries that support your business and your wellbeing.

Your Next Step:

You're not 'bad with money.' You're human. I work with clients just like you to rebuild confidence and create money habits that match their values.

​

Your habit isn’t about irresponsibility. It’s about care, emotion, and often, survival. Now that you’re more aware of how emotional spending shows up for you, you can begin to create boundaries that support your generosity and your goals.
