STOP NAIL BITING WITHOUT BUYING STUFF

Dear Jellybean,

I've been biting my nails for 7 years and I've always tryed to quit but I couldn't. Last night I decided I'm quitting for good and thats that. But the question is, HOW? Do you have any home remedies of how to quit instead of going out and buying something for it? Thanks so much Jelly bean. Keep up the awesome work on your site! :)
Love always,
Me

Dear Me,

I do know one method of quitting nail biting that works very well, and doesn't require buying anything. Tell every single friend and acquaintance you have, your parents and everyone in your family (especially if you have bratty siblings) that you are trying to quit, and whoever catches you biting, you will owe them a quarter. After a few weeks of losing your allowance to getting caught nail-biting (those quarters add up quickly!), and seeing everyone else get rich off you, believe me, you will make yourself stop. Good luck!
