<prompt> Human: Throwaway for obvious reasons. I have recently been spending a little bit of time on cam model websites. One in particular which charges something like 100 for 99 of their credits. A little background on me: I am a 19 year old student who also works as a barback and cashier making minimum wage in Connecticut. So far in the past two months I should have made almost 1,000 in total earnings gross earnings as of last paycheck are around 1500.Heres the thing.. I basically spent what I would have made. I would have made 1200 dollars by the end of the season... but every so often Id go onto one of these sites maybe three days in total Ive spent any money? and spend a little bit. Today I ended up spending roughly 600... and with only two paychecks left to collect I am certainly not going to break even by the end of the season.I was trying to save up money for small stock trading and a trip to Serbia... Im now in the thought process of getting a job on campus which pays 30 less than it does in CT and sending out applications to other in-area employers so that I can get some spending money for the year and save up.I feel like shit, and my partner who knows about this and is aware I have this problem says shell help me with it. TL;DR I dont think this is specifically a problem about cam sites although 100 I recognize they are part of the problem so much as it is not giving myself realistic spending goals and setting personal spending limits. Basic budgeting... from an economics major this makes my blood boil that I got this out of hand. Point is, outside of cutting off all access to these sites which I will do, how else can I stop these small urges of gouging my bank account for spending money?  <response>: You are kidding yourself if you think the cam sites are just part of the problem. Spontaneously spending 600 on a vice is more of an addiction issue than a money issue. You need to control the impulse to go on these sites first before you will ever solve the money side. Responsible budgeting means planning what to do with your money and then executing that plan, thats all there is to it, theres no magic remedy to stop gouging your bank account for frivolous expenses. Its on you to act adult and control your behavior. If you need to, seek help for the underlying issue of the desire to watch these cam sites.Also, there are other red flags in your post: small stock trading. Thats not even close to the world you are in with finances. You barely have an income, let alone an emergency fund. You also should have zero debt before investing and retirement savings going. At 19, you probably dont have this covered yet. Single stock trading is some of the riskiest investment vehicles you can use, dont think this is a way to riches, its more likely youll lose everything if you arent well educated about trading. Best thing you can do right now is make an actual monthly budget each and every month showing exactly how much income you have and how much expenses. Adjust for each month and then stick to those numbers.
