Summary: Understand Your Compulsion to Overspend
Review: Do you spend too much money? Are you getting deeper into debt and can't understand why you can't stop the downward spiral?This book will help you discover the reasons why you over-indulge in spending and shopping. The author uses lots of "case studies", and most over-spenders are sure to recognize themselves in her examples. Her plan for HOW to stop could be stronger, but you can't beat the clear, concise way she lays out the reasons behind the urges. Read this along with, say, Jerrold Mundis' "Get Out of Debt, Stay Out of Debt, And Live Prosperously" and you'll be on the way to "cured".

Summary: Not What I Thought
Review: I purchased this book with a hopeful attitude, and it was a bit disappointing. Though I enjoyed the bios of some of our more famous women in history, (now viewed as shopaholics , ) I was only impressed when I got to the end, and the author revealed the plan she used to stop her relentless buying : Find something else you enjoy instead. I need more of a step by step book, and this was not it.

Summary: Reading Self-Help books maybe an addiction
Review: Shopping is not an addiction however writing dumb self-help books may be. I can only give this book one star and that is only due to spelling the word "SPLURGE" right.
Sad, sad, sad.
Rick Goodner, Author of "Co-Dependent... What a Bore and Other Clinical Observations"

Summary: Understanding the addiction to shopping is the first step
Review: This is an older book, and much of the content was probably more relevant in the 80's and early 90's. Still, if you are concerned with "addictive" shopping behavior, (either yourself or someone else's) you will find the author's examination of the "why's" of the problem enlightening. Understanding the addiction is the first step to controlling it.
You may want to buy this book with another that has a more thorough "method" to helping you stop the behavior. For that, I'd recommend Jerrold Mundis' How to Get Out Of Debt, Stay Out of Debt and Live Prosperously.
