Hey guys,
There are a few problems with money that I have and in this topic I'll just go over a couple of them. To me, it seems like whenever I come across money it always ends up "burning a hole in my pocket". I hate this feeling because it makes you feel like you have no financial control and you don't know how to take control. I know a lot of people with this problem and I really want to learn how to fix it and hopefully pass it on to those who also want to. So if anyone has any tips on how I can do this, I would love the feedback and advice to at least get me starting to take control. (By this point I have tried everything I could think of. Giving it to my parents to hide, tucking it away in an account, giving myself the mindset to not use it, etc.)

I also have the financial problem of not making good investments. Whenever I get money, I never really put it to good use, I always end up buying a million little things that later become worthless to me. I would just like to share these stories with you all to seek some advice. Thank you for all your support. :hl:
