I guess you have to take baby steps? (Start with the largest amount that isn't a big deal, add 10%, and try to convince yourself that's not a big deal.)
Changing how you feel won't compel you to spend $500 you can't afford to spend. This is about how you feel, not about how much you spend.

Try this for starters: Estimate how much cash you normally carry in your wallet. Then double it for two weeks to see how that feels. Once you get used to that, try doubling it again for another two weeks. This will help to bring some of your limiting beliefs to the surface, where you can finally heal and release them.
