NEED HELP

Advise me, please, to stop spending carelessly

This is not easy for me to share, but maybe someone here will understand.

I am the only son of my mother.

She raised me alone after her divorce, and our life was full of hardship. We lived through real poverty. There were days my mother would stay hungry so I could eat. I went to school with torn shoes, carrying dreams and prayer in my heart, but nothing in my pocket.

Back then, earning even $150 a month would have felt like a huge blessing. We had no financial knowledge, no savings, nothing except patience and prayer.

Today, by the mercy of god and with effort, I now earn over $18,000 a month from my online business. It is more than my entire family would have seen in many years.

But here is the part I struggle to admit

I don’t know how to handle it.

Because I never had this level of income before, I find myself spending without thinking. Shoes, gadgets, things I don’t need. I tell myself it is a reward for my effort, but it feels like a lack of discipline.

And then the guilt follows.

I remember my mother’s sacrifices.

I remember the people still living the way I once lived.

So I am asking sincerely for advice

For those who came from nothing and suddenly had more than enough, how did you learn to manage it?

How do you shift your mind from survival mode to discipline and structure?

Are there books, mentors, or habits that helped you build a long term vision instead of short term spending?

God has blessed me in ways I never imagined, and I don’t want to misuse what He gave me. I want to honor my mother, live with discipline, and build a future that keeps me on the right path.

Any advice, reminder, or resource you share might help not just me, but others going through the same struggle.

Thank you for your time.
