But frugality can be challenging, especially when it’s not something you have to do, but instead something you want to do in pursuit of another goal. It’s easy to learn spending habits that are profligate, and harder to cut them back and stamp them out.

You want to start living a frugal life and learn how to stop buying things, or how to stop buying stuff you don’t need. Between you and me, I’m starting to think he also needs a bit of an intervention – I swear there’s an Amazon box on his doorstep every other day!

20 Ways To Rid Yourself of the “Buying Stuff” Habit

Once you understand that life is about more than material things and possessions, things become a bit clearer. There are purchases that will make you a better person, but that new golf set that you bought to add to your other three (even though you stopped playing golf about a decade ago) probably won’t.

In most cases, you and your friends have similar interests and may even be able to share some items among you. Instead of every one of you buying the same item that you keep in storage and only whip out once a year, there’s absolutely no need to invest in those items, especially if it’s something that can be borrowed.

What I love most about having like-minded friends is that you can egg each other on and become accountability partners. Saving money with friends makes it somewhat of a less boring and tedious exercise – after all, everything is a thousand times better when you do it with friends.

Taking a closer look at your circles and those people with whom you spend a lot of time will also help you find out how to stop buying stuff. If you’re surrounded by shoppers, then getting rid of the habit will be extremely difficult for you.
