A Stanford University study caught my eye - according to it, about 1 in 20 Americans suffers from a shopping addiction. The researchers even gave it a scary, clinical name: Compulsive Buying Disorder. Uh, in my mind, "disorder" just applies to the state of my closet after a shopping spree. Hahaha! But perhaps I'm not the most objective person on this matter. Oftentimes, I had to itemize and appraise all the items in my closet (full disclosure: it wasn't even a closet, it was a second bedroom in the flat). I almost passed out when I saw the total. But I do feel better knowing that I am not the only one who shops to excess or even just loves to shop.
Do you consider yourself to be a shopping addict?
