On this episode of Millennial Debt Domination, Katie highlights shopping addiction.
Shopping addiction is a behavioral addiction where compulsive buying becomes a way to feel god or to escape negative emotions like anxiety or depression. Like other behavior addictions, it can become a preoccupation that impacts other areas of your life, including your financial well-being.
On this episode, Katie is joined by Joe Gustus. Joe is a supervisor and training administrator at Navicore Solutions. He has taught classes in debt addiction and has done extensive research on shopping addictions. Katie and Joe discuss when shopping habits have crossed into addiction, how it can impact your financial health, the concept of retail therapy, and much more.
