Have you ever felt the urge to buy an iPhone, a PS3 or an iPad? Was there a time when you bought a piece of clothing impulsively? If you’ve watched Confessions of a Shopaholic, you will understand what I’m saying. The lead character Rebecca had to use all her credit cards in order to satiate her craving to shop. She needed to find a job because her debts were steadily increasing.
Consumerism isn’t bad. It can even be beneficial to the economy, as it helps generate cash flow. However, compulsive buying is detrimental. Some people do not know how to control their urge to shop, just as how Rebecca repeatedly bought expensive things she didn’t really need.
She wanted to become a fashion editor, but instead ended up as a column writer at Successful Savings. And the problem was she didn’t know anything about saving up.
There is always a positive and negative side to what we do. It’s just a matter using ideas the right way. Terry Powell can give advice on how one’s personal and psychological growth can affect one’s future.
