Introduction
What do you mean I shouldn't shop so much?
This book is going to tell you a little bit about the psychological aspect of one activity, which is rather common all over the world. This includes spending money, often needlessly, in buying things which one does not need or want.
In the 21st century, this psychological ailment has been given the name of Shopaholism and people suffering from them are called shopaholics. Most of us find this term very amusing, and may even laugh at people, who splurge without reason and without thinking, spending their hard-earned money on things, just because.
Most of us enjoy shopping. In fact, we can think of no other relaxing activity, than going out and doing a little window shopping in our favorite stores. It is only when we begin to buy everything, insight, even if we cannot afford it, and our credit card is weeping as it sees the limits approaching, we may find ourselves in a bit of a quandary.
Shopping occasionally and within limits can be a very enjoyable experience.
What is this overwhelming reason why we want to shop? In fact, a large number of women, when asked why they wanted to shop so much, say that it gives them a high. In fact I was feeling rather blue a couple of days ago and not too well, and my mother suggested that I go out in the fresh air, and shop to my heart’s content.
I do not like shopping much – in fact, you can call me a bit of a tight wad. But I found that just going in my favorite shops, and looking around at the things there, and feeling content that I had enough of money to buy them, if I wanted to buy them, was enough to make me feel better.
Notice the point here – I had enough money to buy the things I wanted or needed, and I did not want to buy them. For many of us occasionally, we do not have that much money with us or on our credit cards. However, we want to buy and we want to buy right now! This is when the problem starts.
Apart from that artificial high, and it being a pleasurable experience and exercise, most of us are suffering from the compulsive shopping syndrome. This is a real live ailment. It turns us into shopaholics. In fact, Wikipedia calls shopaholics "people suffering from a compulsion which makes them want to shop."
In such cases, people do not shop, because have to get something. They shop, because they cannot stop themselves, and they are addicted to shopping.
