Addicted to shopping? You may be a shopaholic!<\/p><\/div>\n

Meet a shopaholic<\/h3>\n

“God! My credit card bills are becoming a real pain, Akriti, they just don\u2019t seem to end…\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cControl your spending, Sneha.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll surely do that, but what do I do about the never-ending bills? It\u2019s too huge. Why the @#$% did I buy these Ritu Kumar clothes and these expensive\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBabe, relax! Take a loan at a cheaper rate and pay it back\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGoddammit, I feel like destroying all the cards and running away.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll be asking for more trouble\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYa… after I pay back my outstanding, I swear I\u2019ll never use my card again\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These are the snippets of a conversation between two girls, which I overheard in the office elevator last week. Like many people, Sneha didn\u2019t handle her credit responsibly and now she was writhing in financial distress.<\/p>\n

While in debt, some default on the loan, whereas others like Sneha reluctantly decide to pay back the dues.<\/p>\n

The first type is special; we\u2019ll talk about them later. In this article, we\u2019ll discuss people who allow their expenses to ball out of control and then face financial difficulty. A shopaholic<\/a>, in short.<\/p>\n

Some months ago, a Bandra businessman came to meet me to know why he always found himself in credit card debt: he spent a great deal on clothes, jewellery, perfumes and night-outs.<\/p>\n

Handwriting of shopaholic<\/h3>\n

The businessman’s handwriting showed he was undisciplined (extreme irregularity in his left margin), impulsive (right slant<\/a>) and its middle zone<\/a> was too emphasised, which made him reckless in his spending on his day-to-day life.<\/p>\n

\"Irregular

Shopaholics may have an irregular left margin<\/p><\/div>\n

According to handwriting analysis<\/a>, if an undisciplined and impulsive person has an over-stressed lower-zone letters, he\u2019ll be reckless when it comes to physical pleasure and material life (sex, liquor, partying, sports etc).<\/p>\n

\"handwriting\"

A) Extreme right slant; B) Prominent middle zone; C) Extended lower loops.<\/p><\/div>\n

Similarly, if he has an over emphasised upper zone<\/a>, he\u2019ll be reckless in his mental activities.<\/p>\n

For example, when such a person starts reading a book by his favourite author Osho, he won\u2019t stop despite knowing that if he didn\u2019t revise his lessons on Shakespeare right away, he\u2019ll surely flunk the test the following day.<\/p>\n

Final words<\/h3>\n

In order to curb the spending habits of the businessman, I gave him a few handwriting exercises, also known as graphotherapy<\/a>. Now, he says that with some efforts, he has been able to bridle his tendency to spend impulsively.<\/p>\n

If you also lack restraint when it comes to spending, write a couple of pages every day for at least a month with a ruler-drawn margin of one inch on the left.<\/p>\n
