Spending money can serve much the same purpose as drinking, smoking, eating, or gambling for people searching to fill an emotional void in their lives. The simple act of buying something can be a kind of tranquilizer for compulsive spenders. Like other addictions, an obsession with shopping can be conquered with hard work and a sincere and a sincere desire to change. This book explores the psychology of overspending, and then relates the real-life stories of people who have overcome a desire to overspend, by addressing the underlying anxieties that triggered the self-destructive behaviour in the first place. The book contains a self-help program.
