Hi, I'm FrenchMarbles, one of the listeners here at 7Cups and I understand!
For me, my ex-partner abused my finances, so any money I would earn would go straight to her and after escaping that relationship, even now, if I have any money I will spend it, it's a form of control for me, something I can predict and do without anyone telling me what to do.
If I know I need to save up money - I tend to put it in an envelope and give it to my family/friends to take care of it. That's the only way I can actually save money because if I see 'available balance- XXX' in my mind that means 'money I can spend right now'
