Can any bros here provide guidance on how to stop cheonging?

Brief background about me.
I started cheonging visiting ktv when i finish ns and when i started working full time. I am 25 this yr and I admitted that I am very frugal in my spendings where I manage to save up to ard $20,000+ in my bank account as a 25 yr old (before i was intro to cheonging)

once in a while I would love to pamper myself and hence my fren intro me to ktv. I spend close to $3,000 for the past 5 mths thus far on ktv for all.
However, i feel like its way too much for me even I'm single and have no other commitments. Up till today even i spent that much amt, i would still have ard that amt due to the bonuses that i save up from my income.

Maybe its the money that cause me to cheong that much.
are there any tips to stop cheonging?
I'm the kind that dont like go on holidays, not a gadget lover, but rather spend my money on cheonging like ktv and stuffs.

any inputs are greatly much appreciated.
thanks in advance :)

Go into cold turkey to break the habit. It works for me.

That is a very SMALL amt.
I spend tat in less than a nite in a KTV or HFJ yrs ago & I go nitely FYI.
It's like smoking or drugs.
If U want to REALLY quit, u will quit.
If u dun wanna quit, throw u in drug rehab u will still go find it the second u r out.
I've quit the nitescene for over 3yrs liao completely. Do I hv the urge? No, actually feel its a chore now to go such places.
Old cheong buddies gv up trying to jio me liao becos they noe, I NOT INTERESTED period.
So moral of the story, no one can stop u unless u urself DECIDED to STOP!

Bro TS

If you never go KTV, you won't cheong there.

Find a healthy hobby, like playing sports. You will meet people and interact at a slightly LOWER cost plus meeting more genuine people instead.

I don't think cheonging is by nature.

Re: Can any bros here provide tips to stop cheonging?
 

Think about better ways to use your money; like buying a house, investing for passive income etc

If you can focus on those enough, the urge to cheong will lessen

Find an overseas work, away from your familiar cheonging places and friends...

Good idea. Instead of partying in Singapore, he will party overseas.

you just need to find a hobby, or invest the money somewhere

Re: Can any bros here provide tips to stop cheonging?
 

Identify what is it about ktv that is constantly luring you back. Is it the alcohol, the company, the music? There are plenty of alternatives to those. If possible, set yourself a new target to work towards, like buying a new property/car/toy/stock/camera.

In short, I think you're just too bored with your life and need a new hobby or distraction. Once you've found it, you'd find going to cheong quite a chore as mentioned by a brother above because it takes time away from whatever you now enjoy doing.

I like your Cheonging is not by Nature.
Quite true

Re: Can any bros here provide tips to stop cheonging?
 

Since I turn to some passive investing or short term trading, I tend to stay away from such activities.
when your savings is locked in elsewhere, you don't even have the mood to go and press the atm.

Cold turkey worked for me too.
End of d day, it's abt self-control,like 1 of d bro mentioned. Keeping ur cash bz does helps if there's a lack of it.
Gd luck, ts.
