These words Buyer Beware, take on a new meaning now-a-days. Doctors are starting to consider this a diagnosis for a disorder. People who are compulsive buyers, say they can’t seem to stop themselves easily from impulse buying and end up, in some cases of putting themselves in serious debt. This then causes them shame and depression. Now they want to purchase more to get rid of those feelings, they are trapped in a terrible circle and need help to get them out.
I understand the explaination, however I wonder if we should be calling it a disorder. I wonder how many spouses are going to fall for this also?
