The Problem of Being Shopaholic

Phoebe Yang

     Most people like to shop. Buying things that we want will fulfill our desires. But as a matter of fact, we always cannot be satisfied with what we have. We want to buy more and more things. This is why people become shopaholics.

     Take myself as an example I am a shopaholic. The reason why I love to buy a lot of things is because of my passion to be fashionable. Every time when I see some new products on the fashion magazine I have the desire to get them. The next step I take is to buy them immediately. Buying things makes me happy and feel a sense of security. Because I know I can not only use the stuff bought but also own it.

     However, being a shopaholic also brings me a big problem. The problem is that I always run out of money. I need to borrow money from my parents, my friends, etc. I really hate this kind of situation. This situation causes me a lot of pressures, but at the same time I can’t stop buying the things I want. So, day after day I make a lot of debts that I couldn’t solve. The worst problem is that I can’t afford some necessary things when I really need to use them.

     The best way to stop being a shopaholic is to stay away from the chance of shopping, or we can bring a wise friend who will tell us what to buy, or we can avoid being exposed to any advertisement of new products. Following these rules may ease the desire of sopping. After the desire has been controlled, try to save some money and use the money well. We might find a totally different world from that of a shopaholic. We can not only be the master of our money but also get rid of the pressure of debts.
