The name itself gives the game away: ‘shopaholic’. Get it? Of course we do: by borrowing, as it does, from ‘alcoholic’, it deliberately implies that the two problems have something in common.
For me, YES! Shopping is my biggest weakness. So when I read an article about the possibility of a pill to cure shopaholics, it was music to my ears. I spend thousands of pesos a month just to buy things I don't need and I think I have more than 10,000 pesos worth of unworn clothes in my wardrobe. It started in my early teens, when I spent all my pocket on Mary Kay lipstick and eye liner. Sometimes, I envy my friend who shops for clothes that are practical, comfortable and durable. She buys them because she needs them, not because she lusts after them. And, more importantly , she wears the clothes she buys.
My wardrobe is full of beautiful items I never wear. I buy them thinking I'll sparkle down the high street in my fashionable wedges and maxi dress, but in reality My jeans and warehouse top are just, well, comfortable. I still have a paper bag under my bed, I bought last summer. Actually, I can't even remember what it looks like. HAHA...I know doesn't actually make my life better, it just fills my wardrobe with clothes that no one ever sees and makes me poorer. So if the shopping pill becomes available, I'll be the first to pop it. And in the meantime? I'll do my best to control my spending. Having a goal and saves money for Christmas vacation.
