Buying addiction is real and the effects are far-reaching. Today we look at the clutter connection and a few of the simple solutions to help you move forward.  Spending habits often include people buying things for upcoming events that never transpire. Or, they buy stuff because it is on sale or they shop in bulk to save money. Lots of people buy multiples for convenience so they don't run out of home goods, or food. If you have a #shoppingaddiction you are not alone - and when you are aware, you have choices. Today's Ask a House Cleaner sponsor is #HoardingWorld who paid for this show so you don't have to.
