HOW TO USE MONEY WISELY?
Are you in elementary school, high school, college, fresh from college, or in debt?
You can save __________________________ without downloading a 166 page of How to
Save Money Overnight. That's not even possible! All you need is this simple
____________.
Buy only the items most needed. A lot of people have a habit of
__________________________ and end up buying things that they don't need. At a
point, it may seem inhuman for someone to actually not buy something they don't need. Some tips to help
you is before you go grocery shopping, eat a big meal so other items don't appeal to you. Also, know
exactly what you have. If you don't know that you have (for example) a short sleeve shirt, you will end up
buying something that you don't need and waste time.
Look for sales and clearance. Usually you can find coupons and sale notices in _______________________.
Sometimes when you go to stores, they will ask for your email or address. This way, they can send you
exclusive coupons or sale notices. Commercials help too. Save as much money as possible. Buy products
that last longer, buy wholesale items, things like that. You can always be creative and money wise at the
same time too! Great ideas ranging from fashion to food can always reward. Find one item you need and
save. Once you find a necessity, you have to find a way to save money for it. One way is if you sign up for
exclusive coupons, or search through newspapers. Stores like Walmart, K-Mart, Ross, and Dollar Stores can
give you the things you need at low prices. Even boutiques and small business stores have low prices
sometimes, so try hard to find low prices, even the small peeks. Try buying clothes from the Goodwill or
other thrift stores. Sometimes there are great finds available if you have time to sift through what they have
for sale.

HELP FOR SHOPAHOLICS: NEW TEST DETERMINES WHO’S AT RISK FOR COMPULSIVE BUYING
Shopaholics are the butt of many jokes, but obsessive or compulsive shopping
can ruin lives.
Compulsive shopping can lead to financial problems, family conflicts, stress,
depression, and loss of self-esteem. According to a new study in the Journal of
Consumer Research, there may be more people engaged in compulsive buying
than previously thought.
Authors Nancy M. Ridgway, Monika Kukar-Kinney (both University of
Richmond), and Kent B. Monroe (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and University of Richmond)
developed a new scale for measuring compulsive buying. The scale consists of just nine questions, and the
authors believe it does a better job than previous measures of identifying the number of people who engage
in compulsive shopping.
"The scale is designed to identify consumers who have a strong urge to buy, regularly spend a lot of money,
and have difficulty resisting the impulse to buy," they explain. Previous measures depend in large part on
the consequences of shopping, such as financial difficulties and family strain over money matters. But the
authors explain that compulsive shoppers with higher incomes may experience fewer financial
consequences yet still have compulsive tendencies.
In the course of three separate studies, the researchers found that compulsive buying was linked to
materialism, reduced self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and stress. Compulsive shoppers had positive
feelings associated with buying, and they also tended to hide purchases, return items, have more family
arguments, and possessed more maxed out credit cards. The researchers found that approximately 8.9
percent of the population they studied were compulsive shoppers, compared with 5 percent who were
identified with the current clinical screener.
"Given the results of these studies, it is important for public policy officials to recognize that there may be a
larger group of consumers suffering from problems resulting from compulsive buying than previously
thought. Consumers need to be educated to recognize if compulsive buying is a problem in their lives so
that they may seek help," the authors conclude.
