Trust me, I have been down that path of shopping to make myself feel better and the truth is, retail therapy is so momentary. When you feel like you died and arrived in credit card hell, it's awful and overwhelming. Recognizing you have a problem is the first step, getting help is the next one.

Reprogram yourself to SAVE FIRST and create a shopping budget. I am a fashionista, I have come to terms with my love for fashion, and continuously remind myself to spend wisely. Check out my Best Blog topic about building wealth and focus on better ways to invest and save money. Now I want "less stuff" and more experiences. I am building a nice nest egg for my retirement, not accumulating a bunch of useless stuff that takes up a lot of space!
