Hope this is a right place to post this.
Recently I had been feeling guilty about spending $$$ on psychics and readings. About $200 so far. After spending a few days on this forum, I see there are many people who are on the same boat as me or more than that. I am curious how much have you spent so far and how do you stop readings addiction?
-
Don't feel guilty for spending $200. Each time speaking with just Mattie did cost me over $300 - and I talked to her 11 times. Add "so many" others to this list :'( In total, it should be something over 20K in 2-3 years.
-
I am embarrassed to tell you the exact amount but easily $50 a day and I was calling everyday for a few years. I finally pulled myself out of the head space I was in and started taking control again. I have a budget and I include a few readings a month and I am doing a good job staying on budget.
-
Step 1 is admitting you have a problem, right? LOL. I have spent enough on psychics in the last 6 months to have taken a luxurious trip and paid for a friend or two to join me.

I have spent enough in the last year and a half to have bought a brand new luxury SUV. Instead I still drive my 2008 Ford Escape lmao

Oh god yes thank goodness. Maybe one day I will get a new SUV. In another year lmao
-
yes me too, I think I can upgrade my car already if I count my readings since 3 years ago

Looking at the reviews and number of psychics people are consulting, I kind of sense that many are spending thousands of $$$.
Yes, $200 and I still feel guilty. 2020 is my first year getting readings from Psychics. My disappointment is partly because most psychics cannot predict the future. Another reason is having false hopes and I hate it when you have so much expectations and nothing comes to pass.
The only good thing I feel about is readings calm my mind for a while. Hope I will be more discipline next year and spend lesser or stick to 1-2 psychics ;D
-
Because you know when you talk to psychic despite they're accurate or not on present and prediction,
it made you feel better and hopeful for the future, it helps a lot
-
Yeah I agree, the temporary relief is helpful but the older I get the more I realize that we should focus more on things that don't give us instant gratification, instead ones that focus on long-term growth.
-
I blew almost $15000 in 8 months back in 2018. Totally regret it looking back what I did and how I was. But we all learnt lessons, don't we? Everyone will get there eventually, just a matter of time.
I still read occasionally now, like $200 every 3-4 months, but never get a urge anymore. Now i like to see my bank account growing and buying some nice clothes and some travel if i save enough lol
-
Too much for my budget, probably $20k since I started psychic readings between CP, PS, Purple Ocean, Fortunica and Bitwine. I tried so many different readers but over time I’ve learnt to weed out the fakes and I only spend on readers who I know work for me. Every now and again if I see a reader is highly rated and discussed I may take the off chance and try them.

You are good driving a 2008 Ford. I am still driving 1998 Toyota 😂😂
That money I spent surely could have bought a brand new car 😃

😂😂 My bf has a 2018 and says he needs a new truck and I'm just over here thinking sure whatever. Before I got this truck 4 years ago I had a 1997 Mountaineer. I'm always so far behind.

Back when I went through my year-long binge, I racked up about $15K in credit card debt. For about five years, I was paying just over the monthly minimum payment and barely paying down the debt. Finally, I got serious and paid it all off this past year.
It wasn't just the huge amount of money, or the fact that I put it on credit cards with high interest rates, or the fact that I could have done better things with the money; what really bothered me was how, each month I was reminded of my stupidity and loss of sanity. How could I have been so out of control and such an idiot? How could I have paid so much money to talk to people I didn't like, nor respect, nor, really, got anything of value from?
Thankfully, it's done now.

Congrats on paying off the debt. Thankfully I never spent more than I had but I drained my savings.
And God yes the binging where you call people just because they are available and then you hate yourself. The false hope that you don't even believe 10 minutes later.
-
30k easily especially when I tried California psychics and psychic source... they are over the top and not worth it... Never again.
-
The figures that you guys put up really awed me. But I understand why you did what you did..
There are times I also can’t control myself. The urge and desire to ease my mind. My reading with Kisha will be the last $$$ I will spend for Psychics for this year.
-
I don't even want to know. I know it's thousands over the last year, since I got hooked.
I also hate how penny wise and pound foolish I got ever since I started getting readings from platform sites. Like I would drop a couple hundred dollars in a bad day using "seamless pay" but I'd be trying to cut corners in real-life expenses. Or I used to be happy when I'd get a consignment store check for $200 or so, but now I just look at that as a drop in the bucket for a few readings. Spending like I've been spending is totally unsustainable.
What bothers me the most right now is that I paid everything off from my winter binges using a balance transfer to a new zero-APR card so that I wouldn't have to pay interest, but in the last couple of weeks I racked up hundreds more dollars from talking to my most "trusted advisors" while feeling that something was off in my relationship. I posted about this in another thread, but NOT ONE predicted an oncoming breakup and ALL of them just assuaged my fears and made excuses. So not only did we break up but I paid a lot of money for no one to pick up on anything.
And yeah, if a future guy's actions prompt another cycle of calling where I feel that I need to pay hundreds/thousands of dollars to just keep my relationship afloat, I'm so done with him.
