We all spend money on what we value, but often under stress or tough financial situations our spending can feel out of our control and automatic.
Sometimes, we take on messages from our family of origin about what is or is not appropriate to do with our money. We may end up spending money on things that bring temporary comfort or do not align with our values in order to feel accepted or have something to look forward to.
Setting healthy boundaries around your finances can help you set healthy boundaries in relationships in your life.
