Help me! Shopping addiction?
Question by chaapstick(:: Help me! Shopping addiction?
I’m only 13, and in one weekend, I bought over $ 100 dollars worth of things. This is alot considering that my parents aren’t rich. I buy stuff that is on sale, but it starts to add up. I don’t know what to do! My parents can’t afford all this and it’s going to make our family homeless. I just can’t stop. What should I do?
I just see so many things that are just so cute, I have to have them!!!!!!!!
And my parents just keep spoiling me with the money they don’t have. I don’t know what to do! My parents just want me to be happy, but it’s destroying us.

Stop going to the store unless you need something. If you do need something, write it down, go there and buy it and only it, and come back.
It’s great that you have recognized the problem. With addictions, acknowledging the problem is half the solution. Now, just need to carry out the plan.

I know this might help at least temporarily.
Think before you buy is it a need or a want. If its something you want then let it pass and think about how proud you will feel when you get home that you resisted the temptation.
At the same time you should have a budget to buy things because if you hold all that in then one day you´re just gonna go crazy and spend too much, talking from experience.
