[Poody]

Hi my name is Poody and i'm a shop-a-holic.

I dont know whats gotten into me. In this past year i've been shopping none stop. I spent most of my paycheck buying expensive clothes i.e. Ben Sherman, RVCA, Matix clothing just to name a few. I have no idea how to control this because i'm constantly thinking how I could improve my collection of clothes-- most of the time, I wear it once and rack it in the back of the closet. I have tried to control my shopping urges by only limiting 100 dollars a month on clothes but it did not work. Maybe i should setup another account and every paycheck i recieve, it direct deposits a portion to prevent me from using.

I was strongly contemplating seeing a shrink about this disease. My parents spoil me so much its gotten to a point where i spend on average 40 dollars a day on food, drinks, and games. I have been thinking about this alot and I believe my insecurity could be the culprit. I have girls that are interested in me but i havn't had a gf in a year because i think they are just after my money even though i know they arn't.

shit i dont know what to do

Dude, I'm exactly like you..excet i buy cheaper shit i.e (banana repub.,pac sun, hollister). Its funny because I also think about seeing a shrink about it. I just love new clothes. I always feel great in a brand new outfit. I feel like such a women.

 

[marsomega]

I like the hardware.....

It seems like you just have too much money. This is your lucky day, though; I think we can figure out a way to make each of our problems cancel out.

When the Revolution comes, you're going to be one of the first up against the wall, you consumerist drone you.

Dude! He's questioning his consumerism, which is farther than [insert some completely made up number here] percent of people in Western society ever get. We're conditioned to want Stuff. We're addressed as consumers far more often than we're addressed as citizens. If you can start thinking about what's truly good in life as opposed to what you're told every day that you want, you're ahead of the game. Surely Poody deserves a spot in Triumph's New World Order, right?

 

[Triumph]

You're right. I've been drinking steadily and watching leftist propaganda all night long.

Mucho apologies, Poody. Next time you think about using your money on clothes, think about the poor Latin American or Chinese children that probably got paid a nickel to make that shirt. Then think of how much the raw materials for said shirt cost. Finally, think about how much you're paying for it.

Instead of mindlessly buying clothes that you'll only wear once, use your money as a force of good in this crappy world of ours. If you don't think that you can handle that, just know that you can always paypal me any excess cash that you have lying around, and I garauntee that I will put it to good use. Eternal Salvation, or Triple your money back!

I spend more money on clothing then games, many of my mates gf’s refer to me as the well dressed guy. Doesn’t go well with people thinking I am gay (coz I like disco and am very non sleazy) but I just like to look good.

I think I'm bordering on shop-a-holic I need a walk in closet

$100 a month? Amateur! :lol No, but seriously I spend way to much on clothes...

 

[Kiriku]

Thank god I don't have a big interest in clothes, shoes and stuff like that. I just buy clothes I absolutely will use regularly, I don't care about brands or anything like that. I actually get sleepy everytime I enter a store with clothes and shoes...I have to sit down. Maybe it's the smell or something...

I do buy games though, but I've been cutting down on it ever since I moved to my own place. I think it's easier to understand the meaning of money when you realize you can run out of it and end up on the street.

I have a career that pays ok not rich by any stretch of the imagination. It's just what I choose to spend my disposable income on.

Cars, Clothes and Hoes is that all a brotha knows?

Apparently... :lol

I can understand the insecurity you have but that shouldn't stop you if you aren't looking for a long term commitment.

Tell me about it. What's worse for me is that I happen to live in the gayest city in America =(

 

[psycho_snake]

I'm to be like that. I get my pocket money and just buy until it finishes or I save up money for tomething big and spend all of it. Im guessing you work, so if you have enough money, invest in real estates. Its probably the best thing anyone can do with their money because its bound to bring you more money. Ive probably been watching too much of The Apprentice, but its taught me that saving money is the best thing you can do.

That is that i tried to limit myself but as I said it didnt work

I should bring this up when i see a shrink. As for the gayest city... Let me guess, Silver Lake? Because thats where my parents live.

This would be something of an interest to me. But i have absolutely no idea how real estate works.

But right as I type this up my parents gave me $200 bucks for gas. My mom knows i already have a well paying job but she insist I take her money.

Just buy as much as you can online! Thus, you will not make as much impulse purchases.
