<prompt> Human: FYI Im 24, currently working full time. I bring home around 950 every paycheck, which is bi weekly. That is after my health insurance, roth ira, and 401k is deducted Im not ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE at being an adult LOLI have these horrible impulse buying habits though, buying gifts for family and friends, or buying a friend lunch. I also have other bad habits to fund. I smoke, and NEED caffeine as well, so I drink at least one caffeinated beverage a day. These bad habits are costing me hundreds of dollars a month.My dilemma is how to COMFORTABLY cut down on my impulse spending. Ive tried quitting everything cold turkey only to be miserable. Ive read alot of how to control impulse spending but it mostly applies to people who go and buy a large items clothing,shoes,appliances. I havent bought anything like that for myself in a while. The last real big self purchase was a 20 dollar game for nintendo switch which was a gift I didnt buy that either My problem is many sets of smaller purchases.I would like to know with what I have started doing, if I am on the right track. I would also like a few tips if anyone has the same issues as me.1. Buying Red Bull and cigarettes in bulk. Instead of spending 3 dollars a day on my daily fix, I buy a carton of drinks for 21ish dollars.2. No more friend lunches. Ive already spoken to my co-workers about my habitual lunch buying and how Im planning on ending it. Im disappointed that I cant do nice things for people anymore though.Assistant: I wouldnt suggest quitting everything cold turkey, but I would suggest quitting smoking. From a personal finance standpoint alone, it will save you a tremendous amount of money in the long term, both on buying cigarettes and on health care in the future.Instead of buying pre-packaged caffeinated drinks, why not buy coffee in bulk and make it yourself for much cheaper?As far as general impulse spending, it helps a lot to have a detailed budget that you stay on top of and keep updated on a daily basis YNAB works fantastically for this for me. You should have some budget items for fun things if you can afford to, but stick to that budget and refer to it whenever you want to go spend money to see if you have money allocated to spend in those categories. If not, either move things around within your budget or save more first.I also find that adding things to wish lists whether through places like Amazon or just a handwritten list of things Id like to buy helps curb impulse spending a lot. When I have the impulse, I just add it to a list. Then in the future, I look at that list again. If I still want it, it stays on the list for some future spending time. If I realize I dont actually want it that much anymore, I remove it.Human: I dont really have impulses for things to buy myself. I dont really spend alot on things for myself besides food and drink. Ive seen the amazon wish list trick, but I dont think it would really apply to me and my style of spending. My job doesnt allow me to carry coffeedrinks with me while Im working, so I need something small, and quick to drink to get my caffeine fix.I have a hard time quitting, Ive tried patches, and they make me itchy, and the doc prescribed me chantix but that made me LITERALLY want to kill myself. So far as far as smoking I have cut down quite a bit from half a pack a day to a pack a week, still working on it though.  <response>: Caffeine pills
