Question by Elizabeth: What is a shopping addiction and?
when would you consider it a financial problem?

Best answer:

Answer by Momperson
A shopping addiction is when you buy stuff you don’t need, and don’t even really like all that much, but you just keep putting it in the basket. It’s a financial problem when you buy junk but don’t have enough left for food, rent, utilities and gas for the car. If you are lying, hiding things you purchased and stealing money so you can keep on shopping, writing bad checks, running up the credit cards so you are paying one monthly payment by taking a cash advance on another one…I think you get the picture. There’s more, but why belabor the point. If you’re asking the question, chances are good you are addicted to shopping or love someone who is. It’s just like any other addiction, mostly an emotional problem with real life consequences. Get help for yourself or your loved one. Call shoppers anonymous. You can’t make it better with anger or guilt.    Read more...

Question by Anna: i believe i’m developing a shopping addiction? help?
Well I’m 14 and I’m still on my summer vacay till October 6th. I don’t have a job nor do I want or need one, and most of my good friends have been going on vacays and have been super busy. But I do have one great friend that I only see on the weekends because her parents are divorced. Anyways, I go to some kind of store everrrrry day no matter what, and if I don’t I feel incomplete and usually will be super-grouchy. I don’t spend alot of money at stores, only about anywhere from $ 15-$ 250 depending on the store. It also doesn’t help much that my bday was on the 11th so I’ve been going to the mall alot using my gift cards and cash. Shopping just makes me feel so complete and happy, especially since I get depressed and suicidal a lot. I know that this is not just a normal, teenage girl kinda thing, I’ve felt this way for about 10 years, but I never really thought it’s something serious until now. I haven’t confronted my parents about it yet, but I think they feel the same way I do. So what should I do and what are some tips? Thankss:] And no, I am not a spoiled little rich girl.    Read more...

According to rumors, yes.

About Intervention on AE, I heard there is some hurdle or obstacle put by a miscreant. He is intervening.
