The Thought Process Behind the Disease

"SALE! SALE! SALE!" "BoGo!" "Red Tag!" "Clearance 80% OFF!"

You walk in. Sounds of change dropping from wallets, beeping noises from the registers, the "swish" of merchandise going into bags. Friendly faces encouraging you to buy more and more and more. 

Stores know how to get you in and keep you there. 

Lemmie know if this scenario is familiar... 

You go in... Eyes on the prize a shirt for tomorrow. You walk by the shoes and you stop to look... Harmless right? Wrong! Before you know it you find this adorable pair of shoes you cannot live without. And the plus they're 50% off! So now you HAVE to buy them. Walk 5 steps around the corner and there it is... the purse. You have to get it cause, "Well HELLO?!?" It matches the shoes. Few more steps and you find a shirt that matches the purse, that matches the shoes. Throw in a $1,500 credit limit, some jeans, jewelry and hair accessories and you have yourself a full blown addiction. 

Before you know it you have a maxed out credit card, 6 bags worth of $1,500 bucks in goodies and all you can think is... "I want MORE!"
