            This article was about how shopping addictions start that you have in becoming a shop alcoholics. Causes of shopping addictions are mostly low self-esteem and emptiness. People tend to buy things to make themselves feel better, because they are stressed or have a weight on them that they can’t seem to get off. Then once they have that feeling they start to get persuaded by TV, radio, magazines, etc... And they want to buy. They have thought inside their head staying “you want it. So buy it”. Once they spend a big amount of money, they get the bill. Then when the bill comes they can’t pay for it, so they cycle starts all over again. Therefore, they can’t pay the bill, and the next bill, and they in up in a HUGE AMOUNT of debt.
