When Shopping Becomes a Sickness By: Marisol Mendoza
What is an addiction? • The continued repetition of a behavior despite adverse consequences.
Why? • Daily routines aren't broken. • Buying nice things makes people happy. • Some people feel that without these things they aren't loved.
When? • For women shopping addictions usually start at the ages of 23-29. • For men anywhere from 31-40 • Now it seems like many young teenage girls suffer from shopping addictions.
How? • Some shopping addictions start with as little as buying a different lip gloss on a daily basis which then turns into a make up addiction…. • Many people with shopping addictions don’t realize that they have a problem until they are in debt.
Prevention • Break daily routines • Do things you’ve never thought of doing • Spend some time outdoors • Set a budget • Find a better outlet (bike riding, working out. Etc)
