So we have all those moments when we see something on a shelf, online, on display, (you get the drift) when all you want to do is whip out your wallet and swipe that card. But what if you had that feeling everyday, every hour, sometimes every minute (yes it happens). Oh yes people. My name is Jenna Parks and I am your classic shopaholic.
I do it all. Window shopping, store shopping, online shopping. When I see something I like, I've got to have it. I don’t stop thinking until I buy it or have a plan on how I will buy it. When I shop I typically go for those “so called things I don’t need” but I just justify why I need it and create a purpose for it. Some would say my creativity is on par.
Ever since I was young, I have loved to shop. Growing older has allowed my “addiction" to grow as well. You know the general equation...
Getting older= more jobs
More jobs= more money
More money= more shopping
Therefore:
Me + More Money = Constant Shopping
Growing up, I have been told multiple times by multiple people that shopping can be dangerous. Yes, I know my shopping can be dangerous and out of control, but hey, with youth comes many mistakes and many lessons learned, especially with money. I have already made mistakes with my money and spending, but I am learning and slowly improving.
There is one difference that makes me more unique than your typical shopaholic. I do not have a job, I have never made millions, and I have never received an inheritance. The fact of the matter is, I am a 20 year old shopaholic in college.
