How to prevent shopping? I am always finding myself spending money for shopping everytime I am feeling depress and upset. But how can I prevent myself from doing it?Do you also do the same as I do that you are doing it to make yourself feel better?

I think one was is to address your problems first before shopping. Shopping to make yourself feel better is just a means of escape but if you face the problem, you don't need to splurge to feel good.

H[i]i mae, I do the same when I have a work and I was single and now I realized how bad it was...LOL! Since, I end up having few savings since I'm always in the mall...LOL! This time, I am still shopping but I will always think what to prioritize! I will make sure I have savings and the extra will be for shopping and if I will like the stuff and I cannot afford it, I will try to divert my attention and help myself remember that I have so much things already that I don't need this and that this time! LOL!, It's very hard but I know I have to fight my addiction![/i]
