EARNING AND SPENDING

There will always be people who have money to burn                                [money they spend, save, very rich, save money for difficult times, money people earn, poor] as well as those who can't make ends meet                                [money they spend, save, very rich, save money for difficult times, money people earn, poor]. The more money people have, the more they tend to spend - in some cases people's expenditure                                [money they spend, save, very rich, save money for difficult times, money people earn, poor] is greater than their earnings                                [money they spend, save, very rich, save money for difficult times, money people earn, poor]. Particularly, if they are addicted to spending money, so they are shopaholics. However, if more money is earned than spent, you may put aside                                [money they spend, save, very rich, save money for difficult times, money people earn, poor] money regularly and save it for a rainy day                                [money they spend, save, very rich, save money for difficult times, money people earn, poor]. This means you are a good money manager.

Dear Jenifer,

Thank you for your letter. No, it doesn't sound silly at all. It sounds awful, and I have great sympathy for you. What you describe is called             [shopaholism, shopaholic]. It's a recognised           [addict, addiction], and like other addictions, it's hard to break. Hard, but not            [impossible, possible]. It boils down to your having two choices. I invite you to take time to sit down with pen and paper and make two lists. One of them is headed “Continuing as a shopaholic” and the other is “Life where I shop only for basic            [physically, physical] needs”. For each of your lists you have 3 columns, headed “Good points”, “Bad points” and “Consequences”. Really think about them,           [included, including] the scary “Consequences” ones, because most shopaholics are           [impulsive, impulse] and haven’t stopped to think about the         [real, reality] of the outcome. The only clue I offer is that the consequences of continuing as a shopaholic include spiraling debt, lying to friends and family, possible              [relation, relationship] breakdown, and what your kids might feel about it. Do you want them growing up as shopaholics too?

So why do you do it?             [shopaholism, shopaholic] is a response to either an             [fulfilled, unfulfilled] life, low self-esteem or a perception of the world as an         [happy, unhappy] place.
