That would be "a kid in a candy store", and the best way to stop spending so much is to stop going to the mall and buying things that you don't need. No real magic there. Just buy the things that you need.

It is good that you are thinking of saving this time. The first thing you should determine is what is your goal and your purpose. If you want to go to New York to learn English, I believe there are online tutorial that can help you achieve that without spending so much money. Concentrate on your studies and stop tempting yourself to buy things you don't need by frequently going to the mall. It is not good to incur credits later on. If you have a credit card or other debit cards, make sure you use them wisely and effectively. Start saving by opening a savings account and depositing certain amount regularly without withdrawing them for unnecessary purpose.
