I love shopping; it's a necessary evil.

Necessary Evil
Well, there's no other way to put it than the obvious... I love shopping. It does not help matters that my cousin and I are age mates, live together and have the same dress sense, more or less. We go shopping practically every weekend unless of because when we’re broke. Just this morning, we were talking about how we shop too much. But then again, it's something that can't be avoided, is it ? Does anyone feel me on this topic? Especially ladies. You've been invited, yet again, to an outing and all of a sudden there appears to be nothing suitable in your chukka blocked wardrobe. How can you not shop for something new to wear? Weddings are going to start happening right, left and centre this time of year and let's just say it's a punishable offence to wear that wonderful dress everyone was drooling over at Tayo's wedding last year to Kunle's wedding this October. Why... if they drooled over it last year, they'll remember it this year...

It's pathetic really and wrecks havoc on one's bank account to say the least, but if you know a way out of it, I'm happy to hear you out.

Ooops, reading that for editing purposes, I must say it sounds a bit vain.... That's the wrongest picture, I'm everything but vain..... well...... not really.

I love shopping in whatever form, online shopping, window shopping or just sitting down and discussing shopping. But this year, i'm getting my finances right and thinking in the right direction not to buy everything on impulse. It just leaves u broke and desperate for more money.

yeah seun shopping is a ladies thing. and when u all go running your mouth about shopping remember we got many poor folks out there who ain't got more than two clothing wears...give to charity today

affluence...God knows a poor man would be tempting to pick up a gun and rob after going through ovation magazine and seeing the life style of the rich and famous

You accurately hit the nail on the head with your last post. Without redistribution of wealth, however seemingly ineffective, the ordinary man on the street will be without hope and no assurance of something as basic as feeding. Instances abound and are too numerous to note. But for the sake of this argument; without people who are ready to add credit to their phones everyday, what happens to the young man on the road all day hawking his scratch cards?

Well...since it seems that we have so many rich people in this forum, will somebody please extend the good "Samaritan" attitude this way?

I can send Bank Account number anytime.

But for real..shopping is very feminine, and except on few occasions(Back to Schools) I can't remember leaving my house to go buy shirts(Not recently anyhow), it's not as if I don't have the money oo, but I would rather that My Madam do it than wasting all those preciuos time wrangling with one man over what color or what price..more so, I think Madam knows what fit me more than I personally do.

aite...4 me...i'm a freak 4 fashion....esp. shoes...ma gawd! u shld see me when i'm packin' out of ma dorm after d semester....lol! it's crazy! but mehn! i love it jare! it's just one of d things dt make me feel like a girl, y'know mehn, ma boo or husband just has 2 live wit it...no jokes!

I love shopping too, I work in clothing store so most of my pay check go to clothes. I can't stop, most of my clothe still have tag on it, my co-workers even try to help me to stop buying clothe for just two week, but it didn't work. what can I say I love clothes

god i use to love shoppin it was like an addiction, i would travel from one country to another just to buy things .men it was that bad.I had to slow down when i found out that  it was becomin an addiction .

I used to be addicted to technology window-shopping, but I stopped when I noticed
that I had no money to buy those things.  Even now, I'm yet to be reinfected the 'addiction'.

@kachi Face,

I just felt like spending a bundle of money to buy some cute clothing and lingerie for my baby, now that you told me where to find it. Unfortunately, all I'm getting from your website is: No results for "Women's Clothing"!
Maybe you should try a little bit harder before rattling the cage.

i think pips who are addictd to shopping (especially cloths and shoes) hav to much moni and too little work to do. Go n get a life!

 i like freebies too

Who does not like shopping, but when we begin to treat it as a disease that we cannot cure, then that is where I have problem.  I see people who complain of being addicted to shopping  as spoilt brats. Simply solution is to give your money to charity or go to Darfur, Sudan. This is an affluent lifestyle that is mired in consumerism. I want to have it all attitude

Are There Any Psychologists or Research Students On This Forum.?

This Would Be A Good Topic For Research. The Internet Being A Disruptive Technology Has Created Platforms For New Business Models And Even A New Form Of Madness.

I Swear CyberCraze, CyberMadness, E-Madness, E-Craze, CyberPsycho etc are All Realities Of This Digital Age. I Think We Need Specialists For This Emerging Field.

I'm Thinking Of Developing An Application Called Cyber_Asylum.

So That We Can House All This System_Addicts For Rehab.

@topic
