Have you ever thought about how much money you wasted on useless stuff trying to learn to code?

We live in a society where people want us to buy their products. They show up in our socials homes screaming: buy it!. Its so easy, for beginners, in particular, to get caught up in a spending loop buying resources they dont really need.

Ive found myself in this position so many times. My Udemy account is full of courses I never even opened. Ive bought so many coding books Ive never even read.

It just feels there is always more to know, and unless I buy 100 JavaScript courses, I wont fill this gap.

So is there a solution to all of this?

My answer is: yes. You just need to set your priorities straight for your money and ask yourself a couple of questions before buying anything.

Let me show you how you can deal with this.

Invest in Your Health

This is the first thing to prioritize every day of your life. You have only one body, and it deserves to be treated with respect. A couple of years ago, I was the total opposite of who I am now in dealing with my health.

I would eat junk food every day, not work out, have a disordered sleep schedule. And guess what? The results of that behavior quickly came back and slapped me in the face.

I started to accuse many back pains due to my work as a developer and general inactivity, I gained weight, and I always felt tired.

Prioritize your health every day, and always do acts of kindness toward your body. So if you think that investing some money into your health is not a good investment, please think twice.

Invest in a gym subscription or some tools to work out. Invest in a treatment to feel better. Gift yourself a massage once in a while. Buy an excellent chair for your coding times, drop a few bucks in a blue-lights pair of glasses.

And remember, mental health is even more important, so buy books that you enjoy, spend time with your loved ones, or with a professional counselor if you have issues to address.
Invest in a Few Learning Resources
Of course, as a developer, you want to learn and grow technically. So its pretty evident that you should invest in proper learning resources.

But please, be extra careful on this point because new coding courses, resources, and ebooks are popping up every day in this field. You cant possibly buy every single thing. You would end up consuming none of the stuff you bought, plus you would have a terrible headache.

You dont need 1000 courses on learning JavaScript, 100 books to master React, and a full library of ace the coding interview resources.
