I cannot afford to be a shopping addict, but the idea rather appeals to me. I would like to have enough money so I would not have to worry about whether I will make enough, but since I live in a small house, where would I put everything? As for clothes, I have to shop at specialty shops and they have a limited selection and besides, they are not all the colors I like.

I used to be a lot worse than I am now, so I have gotten much better! I do like to shop when I am depressed though, and that is not necessarily a good thing! I don't think I am an addict anymore, but I definitely used to be. Now it is very important for me to save money, because someday I wish to have a big house.

yeah. My wardrobe is full of clothes that I don't wear, rarely wear or have only worn them once or a couple of times. I should stop buying anymore clothes! And yeah, I do buy things that I don't need. Things that I already have, which are more than enough, yet i keep on buying. ugh. it's hard to resist the temptation to shop! when i don't shop, i'm itching to buy something. now i'm trying to control, don't want to spend unnecessarily so much. gotta start saving before i go really broke lol. wish me luck! ;)

Yep, ridiculously so. I buy clothes, shoes, cosmetics, and skin care mostly but anything will do. I have more stuff than I could ever use so I end up giving a lot of things to my sisters who just wait for me to clean out my closets or my cosmetics and pass the good stuff on.
I am TRYING to stop but every once in a while, I go on a binge shopping spree and wreck my record. I really believe I NEED that thing at the time. When it comes, I am like, wow, I have a lot of the same stuff. Or, why did I even want this? lol.
It's a disease, really!

yes I am definitely and I can't deny it. I sure buy more than I need and I have many items that I will never finish my my lifetime *laughs*. I am lesser of an addict now because I need to live frugally for awhile, but I am sure I will get back to a shopping addict when I can afford it again *smiles*. It's totally in my blood.

Hi there. No I dont consider myself to be a shopping adict/shoppaholic, as I only go shopping if we need too, or when our children need things, then thats when i will go shopping...

UNfortunately for me I am a shopping addict! I often buy more clothes than I will ever wear but I continue to buy! The good thing is I donate any unwanted clothes to the Goodwill or salvation army, some still have their tags lol. I guess this is my way of expressing myself through buying clothes and things I really don't need, but am able to buy!
