Do you buy things because you are trying to impress other people? Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in celebrity fashion and desire to impress people with the things you have. However, shopping for status is not the way to find real friends and leads to financial disaster. Remember, you should always be authentically you, and you don’t need to impress anyone with what you own.
Shopping when you’re bored. Back in the day, it was known as the home shopping network syndrome, aka shopping late at night when you’re half-awake and bored. You’d call and order these pretty trinkets or whatever your weakness was. Thanks to online shopping, it’s much too easy to shop when you’re bored. Shopping due to boredom is a terrible financial habit that racks up debt if you’re not careful.
