Retail Therapy

I know that many believe that retail therapy is an issue because individuals usually impulse buy when they engage in it, however I can see how it helps them feel better about themselves.  For instance, buying yourself something nice every now and then can lead to instant cheerfulness.  When someone treats you bad or you're feeling down, I think it's good to spoil yourself a little as long as you don't go overboard.  Also, I'm not saying this because I happen to be a woman, because I know some people say women only use retail therapy, but I beg to differ.  Anyway, I say you have to spoil yourself every once in awhile because if you don't lift yourself up, nobody else will.  No one is responsible for your happiness but you.  Although with anything, do it all in moderation.  Know your limits and never go overboard or use retail therapy as an excuse to impulse buy.  Soooo...happy shopping and get yourself a little something sweet!
