Position: Neurotic Shopper

I don’t know a single soul who doesn’t like to go shopping. I mean, with all the new bags, shoes, clothes and accessories coming out of the market every now and then, it’s impossible for even a single person to not crave for at least something new that he or she just got to buy. I remember exactly how it feels to crave to shop for the latest gadgets, the latest leather bags, the newest shoes, the trendiest clothes and a luxurious set of jewelry. All those stuff and so much more. This reminds me of how much women love to go shopping, even if it’s the last thing they’d do before the world ends.

Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Hermes. The list goes on and on. These are the names that girls call upon when they get sick. These are soothing and comfort words to them. In some men I know, they call upon Burberry, Calvin Klein, John Varvatos, Dolce & Gabbana and a lot more. There are some brands that men and women share too so don’t get confused when you go shopping. Most designers have fashion lines suited for both men and women, and all these names are answering to 3 of the ultimate when it comes to status symbol. VISA, MasterCard and American Express. I know several others but they didn’t make it to the list due to fluctuating status. I’d rather stick with the giants to play it safe.

A lot of women have a tendency to be compulsive shoppers. It is according to experience so don’t lash out on me just yet. A lot of women of all ages go to malls and they are like rats scattering all over the place. They search just about every corner, every single store, and just about every hanger. Leaving no traces of second thoughts in grabbing everything they could get their hands on. Specifically during a season sale. You will notice an ocean of girls raging to the mall entrance, waiting for security to open the mall’s doors, and when they do, it is a great stampede. Similar to a pack of hungry wolves finding their way across of the woods to find their prey. And you better get out of their way if you want to help to make it to your next itinerary safely.

In a cable TV show where a group of people helps out families to clean out the serious clutter problem they have at home, there was this one episode of a woman who spends so much on shopping, to the point that she has still haven’t used at least 50% of the things she has purchased. And the best part is, all the stuff is scattered and piled up in mounds across the living room to the kitchen until the bedroom. That was the first time I ever saw mountain ranges of clothes, bags, shoes, scarves, hats and undies, all in one big pile.

These different kinds of obsessive shoppers could actually feed a whole community for months, even if they sold each item at half of its original price. The point I’m trying to get at is that shopping may be fun and at the exact same time, educating. You can easily learn a lot from shopping if you only know how to separate your demands from your wants and I guarantee you, you’ll never have to call for a clean house.
