How Do You Conquer a Shopping Addiction?
Question by I-wunder: How do you conquer a shopping addiction?
My sister is addicted to shopping. Even she knows she is overspending, but she can’t seem to control the urge to own whatever she likes. I have no idea how to help her. The logic of ruining her credit doesn’t seem to have any effect. Can you offer any words of wisdom?

3d Episode 26 – How to Overcome a Shopping Addiction – In this clip, Judy asks the Master how to overcome her shopping addiction. There are numerous books available to help people identify their problem, and then suggest ways for these victims to consciously avoid spending needless money on shopping. But an alternative may be to give something away each time one shops. That is, for every item one buys at the mall, another item may be donated to charity. After time, one will likely become so fulfilled with the art of giving that they no longer feel the need to shop. It is not an overnight process, but it can happen.
