Shopping is fun! It has been considered to be one of our favorite pastimes.By shopping we acquaint ourselves of the newest and coolest things to buy, may it be expensive or not, others may like what you're choices are or not, but you take it because you like and love to own it. Others may inhibit and limit themselves to acquire things because of its price but others may not take notice of it because they have all their means and ways to own it.On the other hand,while shopping gives us pleasure in life, to others it's a real addiction,a financial disaster because of an excessive and uncontrollable impulse of spending...Have you been a shopaholic?When do you know how to stop?

Well, I have to admit that I am an impulsive buyer. I try to control myself but whenever I found something that I really, really like, I find it hard not to buy it. The reason for this? Experiences like losing the item when I finally went back for it. LOL. But it doesn't mean that I'm a shopaholic because I rarely like an item so much that I have to buy it on that moment. I agree that shopping gives us pleasure in life. It's a way of loving ourselves... rewarding poor little me for working so hard.ΓΌ

I love shopping, but I have a budget for how much I can shop. I feel like this is very helpful, since you automatically start thinking more about how much you spend, and where if you do. So for anyone who has this issue, I would recommend making a budget and perhaps also a spending journal. You will still be able to shop, but you will just start keeping track of where your money goes!
