In the last edition of 2023, we explore the struggle of compulsive shopping habits during the festive season. We talk about the triggers behind the problem and how can we conquer this compulsive behaviour.

Christmas is a time of joy, celebration, and giving. However, it can also be a challenging time for those who struggle with compulsive shopping habits.

Compulsive shopping or compulsive buying disorder is a psychological state marked by an irresistible urge to shop and spend money, often leading to difficulties with financial and emotional wellbeing.

If you are battling this behaviour, we bring to a several techniques which you can use to regain control over your finances and emotional wellbeing.

Try to develop a different perspective on the Christmas holiday season; view it as a time of joy and connection rather than a cause of financial and emotional strain. The true value of a gift lies not in its price, but in the thought and love that accompanies it. Prioritise creating meaningful memories and cultivating genuine connections during this festive period.
