Are you a proble shopper? The answer is “Yes”, if you or soeone else thinks that you soeties get carried away with shopping.

Keep a written account of what ites you will buy and how uch oney you will spend. ake a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it. That is vital for gaining self-control.
