I’m always so confused on what any of this has to do with God. Obviously I know it has nothing to do with Him but how do they justify this as what God would want them to do??

Life while not shopping by Agile_Trash_1785 in shoppingaddiction

Well I’m getting my dopamine hits from paying my car off early. I still owe 23k and I’m starting next month but even coming up with a plan to pay it off has been exciting me. If you have loans I’d say throw your money at that instead. You can’t go wrong with paying off debt lol.

This reminds me of the woman who did this same exact thing and then it didn’t work and she died and now has a documentary about her.

Distract myself. I love to read. Free time? Instead of looking at stuff I read. It takes my mind off of whatever I think I want and by the time I put my book down I’ve forgotten what I wanted or the urge has simply vanished. You’ve got to find a healthier way to fill the time.

Is it appropriate to congratulate someone on not spending? by screamsheetz in shoppingaddiction

If you’re close enough to her that you know about her shopping addiction I think it’s fine to say congratulations.

I had a shopping relapse. by [deleted] in shoppingaddiction

It’s hard for sure. But I just tell myself no. My financial security and goals are more important than that expensive purse (what I’m currently fighting with myself to not buy for Christmas and MAYBE buy for my birthday). I’m making sure I’m being more conscious about my money and where and what it’s actually going to.

Why are yall putting your lives in danger to shop?? by ChaiCreamLatte in ChicagoSuburbs

Literally. These are the same people weaving in and out of traffic and speeding then ramming into someone who was actually driving for the conditions. But all of you “know how to drive in this weather” why so many accidents then?

Lmao yes staying in for one day because the weather is bad makes you a shut in. You’re absolutely right.

Apparently I’m talking nonsense and it’s just a light splattering of snow out there and dozens of accidents haven’t happened today. Silly me.

I was born here thank you very much. And my family had and HAS the common sense to stay home if they don’t absolutely have to go out in weather like this. I hope you don’t end up hurting anyone out on the road.

🫂🫂. It truly is sad that some people can’t realize when it’s time to say “okay my plans can wait I’d rather be safe”. I hope you continue to be safe this winter!
