I am struggling to save money because I have a crippling shopping addiction 😭

I am 30 years old and I have $15 in savings. I am struggling with saving because all I want to do is shop. I have serious FOMO when it comes to shopping. I have a closet full of clothes and I never go anywhere besides work (I work 2 jobs.) this week alone I had 3 big packages come in the mail. I owe debts to Klarna and I’ve maxed out credit cards. What can I do to get a hold of this problem? What has been the first step that has helped to try and overcome this?

Has anyone had this issue with Grant?

I used Grant for a cash advance last week. I got them to extend the due date for the 15th of May. They accepted my request and extended it, and this morning when I checked my email I had a message from Grant saying my advance had been repaid. Causing my account to go in the negative. What can I do? I emailed them and they said they can’t fix it. But I sent screenshots showing they extended the due date. Should I call my bank? If so what should I tell them?

Me (f30) and my partner (m30) have been together for quite a while. However I have this sinking feeling he is hiding something from me. Something pretty big. We’ve lived together for over a year, and even renewed our lease. However, over the past few weeks he keeps mentioning moving. Which makes me stop in my tracks because we just renewed our lease. He has family further down south (we’re in the US) and they just had a baby (his niece). Our relationship has been rocky at times, but for the most part it’s somewhat okay. Well, this week he apparently took vacation time from work (without telling me about it and we live together.) and apparently he was planning to go visit said family members without telling me. I had to find out when he was on the phone with them. Now it turns out his vehicle needs a bunch of repairs and the financial cost of it is keeping him from traveling. All that to say, last night his phone kept getting message after message of his family sending him links to houses down where they live. I feel so hurt and like I wasn’t important enough to include. I didn’t know about his vacation time and we live together, I could’ve taken a few days off and spent time with him, and now I feel like he wants to pick up and move and I was left in the dark about that too. I plan on taking one day off from work this week to stay home and try and talk it over, but I don’t know if it will be worth it?
