6. Block Certain Websites on Your Internet

The next strategy would be to consider adding a filter to your internet router. This way, you’ll block your shopping website. This is a good idea, especially for those who have issues with impulse control. There’s nothing to be ashamed of, though. In fact, you should be proud of yourself that you’ve decided to deal with your compulsive need to buy things.

Website filters usually come with categories, so the only thing you have to do is click the one labeled “shopping”, and that’s it. You should stop seeing websites that sell any kind of stuff or services.

There may be situations where you feel like you won’t be able to control yourself. When this happens, you need to enter the password to go through the filter. If you really think that you can’t control your spending habits, you should ask someone else to set the password. Therefore, you won’t know what it is.

It may be a bit extreme, but it’s a strategy that you should consider if you’ve tried anything else and it didn’t work.
