I think I'm addicted to spending money

One of my favorite hobbies in the world is shopping for sure. I usually go shopping on Craigslist, Amazon.com, and half.com, but lately I've been craving the feeling of spending money at the mall, wal-mart, and target. Everyday, it seems as if I have go to shopping to pick up something. If it's not Pantene shampoo and conditioner, it's birthday presents, books, Star Bucks Coffee. The things I buy online vary from: dirt bikes, laptops, and gas scooters. But one thing that's for sure, I'm definitely addicted to spending money. I just got 4000 dollar braces that I didn't even need. I just had to spend the money. Making trips to McDonald's and eating Subway every 5 minutes. So, I know for sure that this is going to lead to an addiction of spending money when I get out of college, so I've already made preparations. I'll live in a 1 bedroom for 350 dollars a month including utilities and drive a gas efficient car, and use a large chunk of that money for shopping. Anyone else have this problem?

money - money and a piggy bank
i feel the same way. but the things is i don't like the spending money part just all the new stuff. it feels like i can't go anywhere without having buy something. it's kind of annoying. i had a couple hundred dollars saved up for college and slowly but surely, i blew through it all. now i have to fix all that just because i couldn't hold off on buying, that shirt or pair of shoes.
