Hello Fresh
First of you have admitted the hardest part - the fact that you believe you might have a problem.
No all you have to do is learn to balance your wants into
needs. Assess what you might need against what you want.
The best way to do this is limit yourself.
I guess you are used to the Amazon wish list.
When you next see an item you want, add it to a wish list, not the shopping basket.
Next decide if you really need the item - can you find it online for cheaper, will you use it ?
Next decide keep or bin. Work on a ratio that you will bin most stuff. Do not be tempted. Once you have removed an item, forget about it. Realize that you now have money to spend on something else.
The best thing to do however is praise success.
See just how long you can go without ordering an item at all. Feel free to browse, but imagine that you do not have an account at all.
When you have gone a set period of time - then reward yourself with one of the items that you want , but keep it small and to a budget.
I hope this helps
Of course there are more practical reasons such as closing your account down.
Just remember next time you want to buy a gift, why not make it for someone else, a lady friend / wife perhaps.
All in all I wish you the best of luck

I don't waste my money because I just go to Yahoo Answers. Once you get addicting to something, you can't get out. Try to read book or got to Yahoo but never ever click on www.amazon.com.

If you can afford it, what the heck? I can think of a million worse things you could be addicted to.

Find a hobby! Anything is better than spending a bunch of money for no good reason!
