Write your reflection on the experiences of a person with compulsive buying disorders and

describe how you can develop yourself to become a wise buyer.

I had no idea that addiction could be classified as a mental illness in the first place; don't
get me wrong, I know someone who likes to shop excessively in a mall or online, which is why I
labeled her a shopaholic; however, after seeing this movie, I realize she's not really a shopaholic;
she just buys things because she has a lot of money to spend and doesn't know what else to do with
it, which is another reason why I labeled

She spends because she can handle her finances properly in the first place, which means
that if she realizes she's running out of money, she'll stop purchasing for a while and start saving
Even though the person suffering from this type of addiction is already in a lot of debt, they
continue to spend costly, for me, even after watching the movie, I still don't understand why
there are people like this. I don't understand the rush, the adrenaline when swiping off your card
that is described in this movie, so for me, there are a lot of things to be happy about in this world
to be addicted about, so why do the thief?

To manage my finances, I always divide whatever money I earn in half, with the other
half going to savings and the rest being used as I see fit..
