Saving animals and establishing humane laws takes money.  Therefore, I’m dedicating every Friday to Fiscal Fitness.Many people in our culture avoid their feelings.  Frivolus spending which can lead to compulsive spending is one of the most acceptable addictions.  Feel bad because your alone, buy some shoes, just broke up, buy a sweater, work stinks, buy a bunch of books or music.  If you feel powerless to stop spending money compulsively get some professional help.  Whether you use food, alcohol, drugs or compulsive spending, addictions and compulsive habits never get better unless you can get help.  Knowing what causing compulsive spending is not enough to make it stop.  You will need to find or create new skills to help you deal with the anxiety or fear that caused you to hurt yourself with reckless spending.
