I have heard that too much shopping is a sickness and it should be treated. But i love to shop a lot! What should i do? I don't too much on it but like to do it regular.

Nothing wrong with shopping. In fact it can be therapeutical or am I consoling my self. What is bad though if you run up bills that you cannot pay or owe people money, or have huge credit card bills and are in serious debt. I shop regularly, but I buy what I need, I like to window shop though and see what's new in the market.

May not be good for you but for the Shoppers, who have, with lot of hopes, opened shops for people like us. In the process, you get acquainted with varieties of things that are available. Bigger the shop, you rub your mind to go for the purchase and walk a lot. Meet known and unknown people. Free gifts are offered to purchases. This kind of selection of things experience may help when we are selecting a candidate for a job even, with some improvements. More frequent visits, the gatekeeper opens up the entry door with wider and wider smile. How is that? I think, the sickness feeling, if at all you had, would vanish...

If wants are less and minimum, one will experience greater happiness. Spending unncessarily on buying mostly unwanted things will land people in trouble.

I would not say that you are sick but you do have a shopping addiction, which I think many people can say that they have too. My friend says the same thing as she is always coming home with new shoes and says she probably should go to shoppers anonymous. If you have the money to shop, I do not see a problem with it unless it causes you to go broke or not pay your other expenses.

I wouldn't say that your sick. Lots of people like to shop. Now if your spending money that you really don't have, that may create some problems. But if you have the money, go for it. Enjoy yourself, and have fun doing it.

Thank you for saying in favor of me. I don't spend much behind it.
