I came, saw, bought

One of the long-standing sins of women is considered to be extravagance. Indeed, women often have to make "unplanned" purchases, often unplanned by their husbands, because every normal young lady always knows what she wants to buy when she goes to the store. And he buys something completely different. This is our nature. Even psychologists say that some of the ladies are inclined to make "compulsive" purchases. Compulsive, that is, arising in spite of reason, will and feelings, when you feel an irresistible desire to buy something and do it. At the same time, you fully realize the uselessness, untimely, and sometimes the absurdity of the next acquisition, but you cannot do anything with yourself. Remember how many times you repeated to yourself: "Well, why did I buy this?" Yes, there is nothing, just like they say: everything in the household will come in handy. And it will not be necessary for a long time - you give it to a friend, and after a certain period of time she will get another one. The main thing is that it doesn't work like Chekhov's in "A Work of Art".

In general, the ideal option is to start a notebook with columns: "What do I need / What I can't do without / How much money I have for this." And funds are always scarce. As Marilyn Monroe liked to say: "Happiness is not in money, but in shopping." Not surprisingly, all sorts of polls have revealed that there is a direct connection between active shopping and sexual well-being. According to the results of a sample survey of one hundred TSUM visitors, 62% of female customers are unhappy with their intimate life and are trying to distract themselves from problems with a partner by actively spending money. Another 25% of those surveyed said that they "feel absolutely lost in marriage." And 13% of the respondents go shopping in order to … pick up someone. The latter surprise me a little, because men go shopping four times less often than the opposite sex. And those that go are most often family. And besides, men are so busy personalities that they prefer to order goods on the Internet. Women, on the other hand, are drawn to the supermarket by the "process" of trying on - shopping.

After a successful shopping, it’s easier to breathe, and the shoulders are straightened, and the mood is great. True, when at home you find the remnants of the monthly salary you received yesterday, you have to sober up. And again the thought of an "expenditure notebook" arises, but then another - to draw up a budget is the same as to poison your life even before any spending. In addition, how to plan purchases when prices for a month can change several times? The problem is not easy. The advice is simple - buy less, but better. My great-grandmother also used to say: "We are not rich enough to buy cheap things." Not always "saving" means "gaining". But most often it does not work out to think over the purchase. The new dress affects any woman like six shots of vodka to a man. In addition, every time you are going to a "responsible" event, you find that you have nothing to wear (no matter how many dresses you have in your wardrobe: one or 25). Well, how can you calm your appetite and not waste it.

For men who do not understand female psychology, it is very difficult to figure out what motivates a lady when she has money in her hands. I remember, at the time of parental addiction, my father, finding on me the recently received award, gloomily said: "You, dear, your husband - a millionaire, perhaps, will not be enough. You can easily make any billionaire a millionaire."I do not know, I have not tried it. But independence was a good lesson for me. I don’t want to boast that I always control myself when shopping, but I don’t suffer from the irrepressible desire to procrastinate everything from the first to the last penny. So I probably won't have to call a psychiatrist. And you?
