There I said it 
I do buy fancy things and I do not spend a lot on each thing but I am literally always buying things. Lots and lots of little things that I hope will improve my life. Mostly things for my kids or my house.
I don't even know what normal spending is, but I must reign this in.
Can you help me??

It might be helpful for you to think what is this behavior doing for you? For me it was an escape and a way of blocking out thoughts, emotions etc from my reality. I couldn't deal with life so I escaped into shopping and busy with silly things. It took work to come to the other side...
I don't know if this resonates with you...

I think that buying these things will improve my life somehow. Many times they do but that doesn't mean I need to buy them. I get a thrill out of finding a solution to things and often that involves buying something.
How do I know how much to budget for non essentials?
