[quote=Anonymous]I second the idea of therapy. Being paralyzingly cheap is just as bad as frittering all your money away on silly stuff...the goal is to have a balance in your life. It sounds like part of your motivation might be fear (did you ever have a time in your life where you were very poor?) and the goal of the therapy would be to address that fear, not merely to get you to spend money. The money is just the symptom of something else going on. I did CBT for another issue and it worked well for me -- it's very focused, action-oriented, not a lot of "well, tell me about your childhood" yammering. There's some of that because sometimes our childhoods or traumatic events do cause us to behave in certain ways. But it's more of a focus on fixing disordered thought processes, rather than talking about them forever. Good luck OP! [/quote]
