Well, I'm a shopaholic and i spend so much money on things i really don't need.I try to avoid shopping but each time i end up leaving the store with plenty of bags in my hands. Something must be done with it.

Maybe, some of you have had such a problem and can share ideas on how to solve it. I hope i could stop it.

here are some tips on how to avoid being a shopoholic:
1. Set a Limit. It’s important to know how much you want to spend before stepping foot in the mall or beginning your online hunt. Whether it’s $10 or $100, figure out what fits into your budget and stick to it.

2. Remember your Mission. Are you shopping for a baby gift for your co-worker? Or a wedding present for your cousin? When you’re shopping with a purpose, remember your mission. Don’t stray from the plan. Chances are the baby doesn’t need anything from Coach and your cousin probably isn’t registered at Nine West.

3. Not Everyone Needs a Gift. There are many times in life that call for celebrations, special treats and perfectly wrapped packages. But there are some that do not. Use your best judgement and decide when a sweetly written card will do rather than an extravagant gift.

4. Be Honest. If you’re trying to hide your shopping habits from your spouse or find yourself sneaking to the mall, you may have a problem. Be honest and open about your spending.
hope it will help

Hey this problem exists with every women but one should however need to know how to comfront it, try to avoid going to shopping malls, keep your earni8ngs as savings rather then keeping in hand, else if you are not a working can find some business in which you can keep yourself busy...
