Addicted to Shopping: And Other Issues Women Have with Money

Very good book, deals with different aspects of overspending. Something for everyone with every kind of spending problem. Highly recommended. It made me feel like I was not the only one and that other people controlled their problems, so can I!

About the time I was maxing out my credit card in too many digits to mention, I found Karen O'Connor's book. Through it I realized that my lack of financial discipline was not only hurting my family but also keeping me from helping others as I'd like. While reading her book, I had to face up to some negative behaviors but now am on the right track to freedom from financial bondage. I highly recommend this book!

I didn't realize how much I fell into this category until I read this book. I was a little surprised that there were quite a few references to religion in this book, but it by no means was offensive or trying to convert anyone. I am reading it in conjunction with Overcoming Overspending, A Winning Plan For Spenders And Their Partners, and for the first time in years, my bank account is not in the red. Motivating, inspiring. A real wake up call for women who have been raised to be shoppers.

Shopaholizm is a real problem worldwide. I love shopping and now after reading this book, I am more aware of the traps of addiction in wich I can fall. I was interested to learn what motivates people to shop sometimes even unnecessary items. The book also contains information of clubs and specialized centers that can help us to overcome this obsession.

O'Connor has handled a tough topic for many women in a manner that is not only insightful and at times humorous but also offers help for those women who suffer with money issues. I highly recommend this book for any woman who has ever spent money and wondered why!
