Shopaholic
A slave to fashion, you're constantly updating your wardrobe and your home. You love almost everything you see and buy for buying's sake. It pains you to walk by a mall without going in. When you're not shopping, you're dreaming about it. Your closet's bursting at its seams with clothes you rarely wear. The credit card companies consider you a close friend.

Our experts to the rescue
Go to a movie Avoid shopping as a form of entertainment. Instead, go for a walk or check out a new film with your friends—anything to keep your money out of the stores.

Keep a routine Buy from places where you know you can return items in case you change your mind when the Visa bill arrives.

Chances are you'll buy less if you put the time into thinking about an item before buying it.
