Occupation: Compulsive Shopper

I do not know an individual soul who doesn't like to go shopping. I mean, with all the brand new bags, shoes, clothes and accessories coming out of the market from time to time, it is very unlikely for even a single human being to not hunger for something new that he or she just got to have. I recall exactly how it feels to hunger to shop for the most recent gadgets, the latest leather bags, the latest shoes, the trendiest clothes and a luxurious set of jewelry. All that and so much more. This reminds me of how much girls love to go shopping, even when it's the last thing they would do before the world comes to an end.

Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Hermes. The list goes on and on. These are the names that girls call upon when they get sick. These are soothing and comfort words to them. In some men I know, they call upon Burberry, Calvin Klein, John Varvatos, Dolce & Gabbana and a lot more. There are some brands that men and women share too so don't get confused when you go shopping. Most designers have fashion lines suited for both men and women, and all these names are answering to 3 of the ultimate when it comes to status symbol. VISA, MasterCard and American Express. I know several others but they didn't make it to the list due to fluctuating status. I'd rather stick with the giants to play it safe.

Women tend to be compulsive shoppers. This is based on experience so don't lash out on me just yet. Most women go to malls and they're just like rats scattering all over the place. They search every corner, every single store, and every hanger. Leaving no traces of second thoughts in grabbing everything they could get their hands on. Especially during a season sale. You'll see an ocean of girls raging at the mall entrance, waiting for security to open up the mall's entrance, and when they do, it's a major stampede. Just like a pack of hungry wolves making their way through the woods to find their prey. And you better get out of their way if you want to make it to your next itinerary safely.

In a cable TV show where a group of individuals helps out families to clean out the major mess issue they've at home, there's this just one episode of a woman who spends so much on shopping, to the point that she has still never have used at least 50% of the things she has acquired. Plus the funny part is, all the things are tossed and piled up in mounds across the living room to the kitchen until the bedroom. That was the first time I ever saw mountain ranges of clothes, bags, shoes, scarves, hats and undies, all in just one big pile.

These different kinds of obsessive shoppers could actually feed a whole community for months, even if they sold each item at half of its original price. The point I'm trying to get at is that shopping may be fun and at the exact same time, educating. You can easily learn a lot from shopping if you only know how to separate your demands from your wants and I guarantee you, you'll never have to call for a clean house.
