Gotta save mah money

You started at the top...
Seriously, I spend waaaaaaay too much on furry por...I mean art and it's not financially healthy. I'm saving up for Grad school and my own apartment but I can't do that if I'm buying art every few weeks. And for what? Because seeing art of my character is gratifying or the fact I get noticed within the community? It's just not worth it.
I get that from my stories, I really don't need porn to tell me folks know who I am or to provide instant gratification. Art is nice, don't get me wrong and I LOVE seeing Sy drawn by my favorite artists, but I can't afford to do it now.
So I guess I'm not going to get commissions until I surpass $6,000 in my account. It's the only way to stop me from doing this. It's so fucking addictive though, like I really can't stop. Think of smoking cigarettes and trying to quit; it's pretty damn hard, ain't it?
I tried this in December but I eventually caved into that itch to drop the cash moneez on porn. Still, I noticed it became easier to ignore the journals announcing commission openings and the raffles, so there is some hope.
Ughh you guys have any tips that'd help me get over this?

Good luck with trying to cut back. Sorry I can't offer much advice.
Though you don't necessarily need to stop completely, maybe you could try trading art for stories? That way you're not losing money.
