Shopping Adidiction


Overspending is not just a whim, can become an unhealthy blanket than a snowball can wipe out the economic security gained through a lifetime of hard work. We live in a consumer society in which invite us constantly from advertising to have the latest coming to feel at times that the "need".

It is not often hear about new people who wasted the resources of his life if he was fortunate to inherit a fortune, or just the capital amassed through their work and effort in the blink of an eye, because of their short trial to preserve what we have. This extreme behavior of spend and spend without thinking about the future is addicted to shopping, and is a disease that affects both men and women. But the latter, more likely to succumb to the temptations of the good life, including clothing and accessories, decorative items, cars, travel, apartments and, finally, all that money and credit cards can pay, they are pursued by one days creditors, defeated and faced the problem of start over its economic life when the slope has become steeper, ie, when age is short.

This has generated in recent years increasingly emerge different case number calls addictions partner. They are characterized by an addiction to a substance not only socially accepted acts such as watching television or using mobile Internet, or buy.
The person who is addicted to shopping is not usually recognize the problem until it has severe consequences as in other addictions as it is lived in shame.

This problem is especially common in women 40 to 50 years old with low self-esteem, lack of self control, insecurity, proneness to fantasy, loneliness and spiritual emptiness. The problem starts when a person is gratifying to shop and start using this activity as the only way Feel well, because it leaves other activities or fills a void. This fact makes the person begins to associate the act of purchase with a sense of wellbeing.
There after the person may enter a vicious circle: in a moment of anxiety or discomfort you feel the urge to buy and can not resist; the person buys something and then feel a sense of relief and well-being in a buying mood, then realizing that he was unable to prevent their momentum, which has spent money that was not spent, and who has spent on something useless or not needed, a strong sense of guilt along with a strong self invade this person, the discomfort resulting from these negative feelings is unbearable and cause the person to seek ways to feel good, the person returns to buy this being a simple, fast and effective relief and feel that at that time being much needed. Jealousy causes us to almost all those very few people who have had the fortune of winning the lottery will not let us see the raw reality.

Generally, those who make the lottery is spent on weight and weight within a rather short again in his initial insecurity. Cases like some actresses who have made a fortune with his talent and work should be examples of how to behave in the handling of money, because they often spend wasted millions of dollars buying more cars than they could handle, even by changing some houses by other increasingly expensive with the same ease with which they change their clothes and using its credit cards like cash money.

"Where is thrown out ... and not just the harvest," says a popular proverb which happens to be literally true, by investigation could see the case of Sandra Corrales after living a luxurious life with her husband, was separated from it and by the fact of not having a college education is not found work, which led within a period not long to live in a rented room in which the only piece of furniture was a mattress on the floor. But she did not learn the lesson. When I finally got a job, rented an apartment for a year that went beyond their means and acquired credit card debt that dogged limits to almost insanity.
This woman's case is not isolated, it is an epidemic that attacks women equally rich or of modest means, educated or not, intelligent or not. We see them more often than we imagine trying to get out of their incompetence to manage money, clearing the unknown field of therapy applied to financial management, which streamline the budget that have passed through the pressing task of going to a psychologist.

As expected these professional women receive a diagnosis that analyzes cataloging your condition as a monetary disorder and is characterized by an insane and self-destructive behavior, but are less serious in other pathological disorders such as cutting c purchase compulsive, it is very disturbing and can lead to bankruptcy. The taste for shopping is an activity that has spread in this society, purely consumerist, and can ensure that there is nothing wrong with that, well make money and spend it on what everyone want.

However, there is indeed a problem when the desire to consume is transformed into an idea that having a certain number of objects is a necessity, when it acquired when it warns that it is not and want more. For what characterizes the impulse buyer is buying things you do not need with money they do not have!.
Ideally, people aware of their own disorganization and choose the right path, which is the consulting psychologist, knowing that when people seek help about managing their own money, play therapy levels deeper than the funds in your bank account, because usually delve into unresolved family issues and generational patterns of behavior that very likely are the cause of this disorder.

At a time when the economy is stagnating and consumers are concerned about unemployment and savings for a better future, one can imagine that being rich or receive money from heaven-the lottery or a disproportionate interest is the panacea, and those who are in such a situation can be secure. But many people who keeps struggling with money matters is not poor at all. There is some degree of harmful behavior, depression, on the whole time be thinking that things have to be the only source of happiness and to the extent that the procurement of goods and consumer goods are richer.

A wise sentence which says that "one is poorer the more you want." Maybe those who are addicted do not believe so but, as they say, peace is not paid with money. Focus on goals like buying a house, a car and achieve a dignified way of life is no sin, neither is given some tastes as far as possible. It's when those goals go beyond the limits of our capacity.
