I’d spend some time looking into that, ie, why do you think you procrastinate? Perhaps this may help:

I wrote a blog about this just recently. Mine would include sleeping in and then needing to drive to work because the public transit here takes longer… forgetting to return library books… and letting my own ignorance prevent me from being proactive about investments.

Thanks for all the comments. Sadly, I do share most of the bad financial habits mentioned. Procrastination is just the worst of them. I do pretty well despite that though so I can’t worry about it too much.

Eating out. I love to eat out. I’ve talked about that a lot on my blog. But I can’t stop. I’ve given up on trying.

I use to procrastinate a lot and not pay a bill on time and get the finance charges and late fees. That stopped quickly after things added up. My wife and I are bad at buying stuff for our two young boys. We won’t buy anything for us, but when it comes to them anything is fair game.

Mine used to be procrastination too…but now it has turned to obsessiveness. I am constantly checking my finances and tweaking my budget and updating Quicken and Mint.

I think that I have been burdened with debt for so long and not known how to manage it that now as I have started seeing the light at the end of the debt tunnel I am going a bit overboard.

I think I need to go to budget rehab!!!

I have a few worst habits. Procrastination is up there on the list but I have also noticed that I give in to spending too easily. Mostly I am willing to drop extra cash to get something for the girlfriend or the kids just cause they ask or want something. If I cut out getting them little treats so often I would save quite a bit.
