I feel the blame is the new con-tactless culture, where you have no emotional contact with your own cash. (and my own self-discipline)
Anyway a few months ago I started doing some deliveries for a local take-away, and it has been the first time I have dealt with cash. Is has been one of the most important life lessons I have ever had, for the first time actually counting my cash at the end of the night paying the shop their cut and paying my petrol. I sit their with my £40 profit and suddenly that small amount of money is a direct representation of my work.
I have stopped online gambling, I have stopped my casual smoking habit and I have stopped impulsive online transactions on amazon, xbox ect.
