am i a shopaholic??? :s?

Question

a lot of people (freinds) are saying that i have a real problem with shopping like lindsay lohan
they seem concerned i dont really think its anything serious though
but i dunno
i usually drop about $1,000 -$10,000 every hour when im shoping
i mena it depends sometimes it can be more depending on weather its clothes, shoes, bags, sunglasses, jewlery or whatever
when i have time off i shop too, like it beverly hills and stuff (thats where i live)
so, is this bad?
i mean im 15, and young, and like to have a good time
it pays off have 3+ closets full of CHANEL lol :) :)

Answer 1

It totally depends on how much money you have. I'm much older than 15 and I wouldn't spend 10,000 in a year.

Answer 3

I thought my dropping $300 a year on clothes was bad. It was making me nervous, but I guess I shouldn't worry after reading that.
Try saving 2 times as much as you spend. You can't just go drop a bunch of money on things before you save.
If you have a bank account, decide how much you want to save per month and make sure it's at least half of your total income or whatever.
I really think that you should take a break from all that and maybe invest money, try buying a franchise or something, then your money will doulbe at least every month if you own something.
Put your money to work for you.

Answer 4

If you can afford it, why not your friends maybe jealous, but if your just spending your Parents money bacause it's there, you need to start thinking about the What-Ifs in Life and lets say your dropping $10,000 in one hour and your shopping for about four, your parents are out about $40,600 with Tax and your not even going to wear half the stuff because your fashion is by Hollywood Standards.

I'm not a licensed therapist, but depending on the specific details, you may need proffesional help.

I'm as into retail therapy as the next person, but sometimes its not the right kind of therapy.

Answer 6

Answer 7

well....i would say that you are, thats way too much money to be spending on clothes that you may not even wear. have you tried donating time and maybe some of that money to charity....or trying to find another hobby that doesnt involve spending so much???

Answer 8

if you can afford it and it is not messing up the rest of your life (i.e. school or relationships) then no, you're doing fine girl. Keep it up, just make sure you are getting your friends some good gifts!!
