Shopping Addiction
During the summer... I get kind of lonely and depressed since many of my friends are not around. So, since I make a decent amount of money waitressing I decided to take myself on a shopping spree. I took $320 with me and ended up with $11 left over. I went to Kaufmann's, Express, and Charlotte Russe. Can we say addicted? Well, I did a little investigating to see if I am seriously a "shopaholic."
Here are the results...
I took a quiz to see if I was truly a shopaholic.. it looks like I am one.
Ladies and Gentleman... here are some facts to prevent yourself from being addicted to shopping.
It feels great to spend money and I also bargain shop, but it greatly damaged my wallet when I returned home. I can't afford gas in my car or my cell phone bill, at least I look great though in all of my new clothes!
A quote I tell everyone: I would rather "give" than "receive."
Next time you are off to the mall to shop.... ALWAYS take a certain amount of money so you don't go over your budget like I do. :-)

Yeah sometimes, believe it or not, I too tossed my money around, that's why I don't have much now, well anyway, have you read the book series "Shopaholic". I forgot the name of the author, but my friend liked it very much, she just finished reading the third book.

Posted by: Amanda at July 1, 2004 7:07 PMMike- I researched the book "Shopaholic." The book is by Sophie Kinsella and she has a 4 book series on it. It looks like a funny and exciting book, I plan on buying one to see how I will like it. Thanks for the suggestion!!
Amanda- I am waiting, to go gabing! :-)
