This adage is true for many individuals,not just woman.
Not all woman are born with the shopping gene,I know quite a few that detest it.
On the other hand chronic shoppers most likely do so to fill a void.Keep in mind I'm referring to the woman you see leaving a boutique or mall loaded down with bags and a smoking credit card,not your average window shopper.
I know women that use shopping as a way of getting back at their cheating hubbies.
I've known women that have ended up in bankruptcy court while trying to fill what they deemed to be an empty life, when their money would have been better spent on good dose of psychotherapy.:sad2:
I thank God everyday for the good sense he gave me.I enjoy a nice purchase as much as the next guy,but I refuse to risk my credit rating by over indulging my every whim or trying to keep up with the Joneses
