Are you a frenzied shopper..buy! buy! buy!
That was me. Sometimes it was more from a challenge on a bid on Ebay. My 13 second rule worked all the time and finally I realized that I was wasting my money, my time, and the fact that the item when it did arrive, did not fit me. Thus my sister became the recipient of my buying sprees, or we ended taking lots of clothing and shoes to the country we visited thus being, Cuba, Mexico and so forth.
It finally dawned on me that I had a problem, when the novelty of the shopping wore its novelty and my credit card statement showed my stupidity as well as a closet stuffed with clothing with tags on and most of them I did not wear as I repeatedly wore the several clothing that I love best.
My rule is now forget fashion, create your own and do not be a slave to TV ads, magazines, and a world that says you deserve it as they flash the expensive shoes, bag, clothing and for men...electronics and expensive cars.
I am avoiding magazines, malls, stores, and the fact that being a slave to shopping brings no value to life.
