DO YOU THINK SHOPPING IS AN ADDICTION? DO PEOPLE ALWAYS NEED THE THINGS THEY BUY WHEN THEY GO SHOPPING? WHAT ABOUT YOU?

Today, the way to reduce the stress or anxiety is based on shopping. This is considered an addiction, because many people are tied to this economic activity.

Terribly, this addiction is a major expense for the person. No one becomes addicted to shopping at any moment: firstly the person must have some money; secondly, publicity through television, radio and billboards shows the right products, and finally this person feels that he or she has to buy it. For this reason people have things in house that it doesn't need and/ or it unused.

Finally, I think that society is based on a compulsive consumerism that makes people spend much without conscience, and with this, spending unnecessary resources.
