I believe that anyone who spends too much is probably because they have an income stream that makes them so much money. Because I for one can't even if I want to because there's not even enough money to handle the basics.

I can say that I have become better at dealing with my compulsive spending. This is after learning that I can say no to my spending urges. That requires me to be so self aware and live in the moment so that I can catch myself craving for something unnecessary. So I just say no and go on with life.

Self discipline plays a very Important role. You just need to find a way to discipline yourself. Set a target for your spending each day and try not to extend your daily target. When going out, do not carry too much.

I am someone who is a firm believer that someone who is a compulsive spender likely got it from childhood, either their parents didn't teach them how to take better care of their money and ensure their bills and essentials were paid for first or their parents were compulsive spenders themselves.
There are ways that you can help yourself get out of a habit like that and it does take will power but only if you are willing to do it and take the steps to help yourself.

Setting things like a budget per month or week depending on when you get paid, setting out how much you need for bills, food, and any other essentials that you need to make sure you have or that are paid for, and then looking at what you have left and potentially buy yourself something with what you have left over but don't go over board. Eventually, you will train yourself to not spend compulsively and still be able to treat yourself as well.
