Confessions of a shopaholic

I have to admit it; my shopping addiction is killing me now! It gets bigger and bigger as I am growing up as a woman. I wish I could save money; I should save money, actually, I need to save money so bad! I can't explain this addiction to anybody. What an incredible feeling to spend money for material that you don't necessary need, eh? Okay, well, you might not think the same. That is the problem: I feel like I'm the only person of my entourage that's suffering that bad of this kind of disease. Because, YES, it is a disease to me. It is affecting my psychological condition and my future. Since I own a credit card, you can imagine that I'm spending even more! Well, I still have the capacity to pay my bills, my credit card, my car, etc. But, I don't have any extra money to put in my ''useless saving account''! Argggg, the more I try, the less it's working. I've tried so many times to fix myself, to deal with it, to change the situation. Nothing is giving my the great satisfaction of buying new shoes, new clothes, a new cellphone, or whatever. I feel in conflict with myself, and I always have regrets after a purchase. I feel guilty, proud of me, and then guilty again. Sometimes I can be a week without spending a buck, except for gas. And then, I'm taken by an urge to buy the first thing that's come in my mind. Thank god, I've got only one credit card! Unless my situation would look like the one in Confessions of a shopaholic. If you want to get an idea of what I am -a shopaholic-, just watch this movie! Enjoy!!! :)
Oh, and feel free to share any solutions that might be efficient!

  1. this is so true! sometimes i'll be good and i won't spend on dimae and then paf i have the urge to buy something even if i don't REALLY need it. It's like buying makes me feel happy. It doesn't have to be something big though ...

  2. Yes, it's the reality..
    I totally understand you about it. I always want to buy something because I like to have something new in my closet. It gives me a happy time until I see my bank account has dropped. ahah It's always that. ;P So, I think I'm also a shopaholic :P
