whenever i received my allowance, i try to make a financial budget. however, when i go out, i cannot help my self to buy these, and those things, especially food. the end result, i splurge on buying things or food, then losing my money at a very shortest time. Is there anyway, i can control my self to do such thing.

I think the best way it to work with cash. Leave you cards at home in a drawer and take out enough cash for one week at a time (try to take out a little as possible) and of course try to spend less on luxuries.

how about listing the items (suggestion: in particular order, from needs to wants) before going out shopping? i don't think you should feel guilty after buying food. it's one of our most basic needs, right? with respect to the 'things,' if they are essential to you, why worry?
