A lot of people never realize that shopping, in itself, is an addiction. Believe me, I have plenty of friends that have driven their parents, their lovers, and their friends crazy with their obsession over shopping. I guess if you have the money there are many temptations in the world. I think, however, if you don’t have the money, an intervention may be needed. I speak from experience on this. Think about the outcome of the things you spend money on. While shopping, don’t forget that you need to pay the bills, or put food on your table, a roof over your head, or just save for the future. If you have kids, trust me, save your money. College isn’t cheap these days. Sure shopping is a great way to have fun and relax, just don’t lose site of the big picture. You can have just as much fun at home with the family.
