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)
