Ms. Shopaholic?

Am I a shopaholic?

I think I am..maybe..
I dont know whether I am a shopaholic or not..

I found this list of questions from psychcentral.com just now..if I answer 'yes' to one or more of these questions, there's a good chance that I am now suffering from "SHOPAHOLIC" disease..
so, let's find out whether I am a shopaholic or not..




1. Are you preoccupied with shopping or spending?

• Aaaa....yessss..maybe...I just cant help it..I always have something to buy in mind...and every month, I will allocate some money just for shopping..but dont worry..usually it will never exceed RM100..

2. Is your shopping excessive (200 watches, 400 pairs of shoes)?

• emmm...I think it's a no...I'll never exceed my limit...but it maybe happens sometimes..I rarely exceed the limit when I shop for clothes or shoes..but for food..*sigh...I just cant help it..whenever I go to Tesco..I'll always shop too much...I love food and cant help but to buy them..><

3. Is your shopping inappropriate (items that you don’t need)?

• Inappropriate? Buying items that I dont need?? I dont know..I think it never happen to me...saya rasa la..orang lain punya pikir tak tahu lah..huhu..though I might not using them now..I might use them in the future...yes..in the future..so, everything that I bought before is appropriate right? If I dont want them anymore, I can give them to people around me..sedekah dpt pahala what..hehe..=

4. Is your shopping uncontrolled (spending money you know you don’t have)?

• Spending money I know I dont have? Do you mean credit card? I dont have credit cards..So, my shopping is not uncontrolled...hahaha..I can only shop when I have the money..but wait, I think I do have credit card..it's my mr. Right..he's my credit card..whenever I dont have money, I'll show my 'muka comel' to him and smile..it usually works!!! and I can always pay him whenever I want..hihi..=D

5. Do you typically return, give away, or not use items you have purchased?

• No...I rarely do that...it only happen sometimes..yes, believe me..just sometimes..I'm a bit stingy when it comes to things I love..especially shoes and dresses...so, I wont give them away..and I always use them right away...but, sometimes...I do mistakenly buy shoes or tops with the wrong size..they're just too good, too beautiful to be left hidden in the shops..and, when they cant fit me, I have no choice but to let them go and give them to my closest friend or my nieces and sisters..  

6. Has your shopping become so time consuming that it jeopardizes your job, family, or pursuit of

    other life experiences?

• It's a big NO from me...I have my limit..and I hope I will always have...please pray for me.. such thing should never happen to me...

7. Does shopping leave you feeling upset, guilty or ashamed

• Of course the answer is no...having new shoes, new dresses always makes me happy..yes, sometimes I was a bit upset when I dont have much money left in my bank account..buy, still...I'm happy and I never feel ashamed of my addiction to shop..

8. Has shopping led to serious financial or legal problems?

• No, such problems never happen before..and I pray they never will... 

9. Has shopping caused you to lose a relationship?

• No...my shopping addiction never affect my relationship with those I love...^^

Now, let's decide whether I am a shopaholic or not..there's one solid 'yes' from me..=_='

well, I need to admit that I am a shopaholic..or let me try to make it more specific..I am 50% shopaholic..I am not 100% shopaholic..

Why? 

Because shopping never affect my life badly..I still have my own limit..I only shop till the last cent of my purse..not my bank account..I do have some saving though it might not be a lot..

But, still...I need to do something with my addiction to shop...I think by next month, I want to decrease my percentage of being a shopaholic..well, let's change from 50% shopaholic to 25% shopaholic..

This is a big challenge for me...I'll try my best to save more money next month..hope nothing will go wrong..=)
