We all like shopping, what girl doesn’t? There are so many beautiful things out there and shopping can be a lot of fun. Sometimes, though, it gets out of hand. Here’s to tell if you might have a bit of a problem …
1. Where’s the spare room?

Not only are your wardrobes full to bursting, but your clothes have spread. In fact, you have an entire room devoted to housing your clothes. Are they breeding? Of course not … you’ve bought way too much. So the spare room has now been turned into a walk-in wardrobe which means that you can’t have guests to stay.
2. It’s not that much …
You lie about how much you’re spending, to yourself and to others. You tell your partner that you’ve spent much less than you have. Maybe you say ‘but it was only $10’. Fine, but what if you then bought more, or added other things because the first item was so cheap?

Yes, you like that top/belt/pair of shoes. But do you really need to have it in all the colors of the rainbow, and every shade in between? All you end up with is a bursting wardrobe and a massive credit card bill.
Well,I think that I came very close to be a shopaholic but I managed to avoid it.Although I shop from outlets,one day I found that my closet was stuffed so I begun giving them away.It’s like a favourite food-as much as you like it you can’t eat it all the time.Now I do window-shopping,it’s fun but much cheaper.

Hey Chrysa,
Online window shopping is my new go-to. Just browse, add things to the cart and close window. Ah! Therapeutic and how. :)

Well even though I fit to all the statements above i dont believe that I am a shopaholic. I just love clothes and I love to shop. Its like my drug. it takes away stress, and it keeps me smilling. I just discovered online shopping!! LOVE IT!! I have soo many different accounts open. However I dont use my card ((in fear of my number being stolen)) so I use a greendot card ((pre paid card)). My mother took my credit cards away after she paid my debts off but im learning to deal with it. Honestly I did think I had a problem in the past when i use to spend my entire paycheck in one day then have to get my mother or grandmother to pay my bills. But that was when i was 18. Now 20 I feel as though I grew more and became way more responsible. Now i pay the important bills ((rent, gas&& electrict, phone,)) and use the rest to shop…well atleast thats what i use to do before i quit my job and moved back in with my mother so that I could go back to school. I know its a positive decision that I made but its really killing me. I havent been to a mall in about a month. I’ve been doing some online shopping but now im guessing thats over with since my bank account just went into the negative and i have NO INCOME WHAT SO EVER ANYMORE :( but hopefully this wont last too much longer.
