Ok. I am now on a shopping freeze. I have made a pact with myself that I will pay off $400 of credit card dept before I can go shopping for ANYTHING. Why are clothes so expensive and so irresistable. Does anyone else feel my pain or have any tips to curb my shopping tooth.

yeah its fun when you start earning money back... then you can spend again lmao... or pay off bills whatever works better lmao... I am a shopper too and I love the site... oh and if you have other shopper friends, if you refer them, you get a referral bonus for the store they shop at and depending on how much they spend... just from my referral I made $0.19 for one shopping trip (and that was just from my referral) not what I spent... oh 1981 is a great year... the year I was born lmao thanks!!

If you like shopping so much (like I do) you should fine the cheao stores, I know this might sound crazy but I shop at the dollar store for clothes and believe it or not they have good clothes and it's cheap but only if you fine a good dollar store.

I think it is good of you to be getting your shopping habits under control. I my self had problems spending so much money. I never bit off more then I could chew but I could have been saving so much more money then I was. I started a budget for myself and decided I could only spend so much out of each paycheck and nothing more. I was really able to have more money to do family things like vacations.
