Take a couple of breaths, recenter yourself. I just want you to remember that the trip isn't over until about a week after the trip.
Ever found yourself on vacation, tempted by every shiny trinket and luxurious spa package? Susan B. knows the struggle all too well. In this episode of 'I Can't Stop Spending!', she takes us aboard her recent cruise to share her personal battle with compulsive spending while on holiday. As a recovering shopaholic, Susan offers a treasure trove of practical advice for staying financially sober even when you're surrounded by temptations.
She kicks things off by emphasizing the importance of planning ahead. Budgeting for internet access or those enticing optional activities can make a world of difference.

A few deep breaths can go a long way in recentering yourself. Susan also highlights the value of self-care during travel.
This isn't just about pampering yourself but also about attending support meetings and taking necessary breaks. She reminds us that the trip isn't truly over until about a week after you get back, so maintaining your spending plan is crucial even when you're home. If you've ever struggled to keep your wallet in check while enjoying a getaway, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical tips to help you stay on track.
From setting a spending plan to practicing delayed gratification and utilizing support systems, Susan’s insights offer a lifeline for anyone looking to enjoy their vacation without financial regret.
