23. Compulsive Shopping
Many people began stockpiling foods and other supplies in 2020 to protect their homes during the pandemic. While part of this makes sense, this proves to be not the wisest course of action in every financial scenario. For example, do you think your partner buys more than they should? This could indicate a shopping addiction. For some people, shopping, like drinking, gambling, and using drugs, can become an obsession. These people cannot go a day without purchasing anything because it offers them a dopamine high. Someone suffering from this condition requires therapy, and you may need counseling if you want to save your marriage. Shopping addiction may be a significant problem in a marriage, leading to divorce.
