Pearl - Even With A Shopping Addiction, Modern Women Still Complain

00:00:00.000 women are just complain about everything like i i have to stop spending money i don't have

00:00:04.880 complain what up guys welcome to my reaction series today we are reacting to modern women

00:00:10.400 being shopping addicts so there is nothing women love more than spending men's money

00:00:17.120 and we do that in the form of shopping now they may not spend it immediately like it might be

00:00:21.920 something where we spend it later um but we are definitely the spenders and they're the makers

00:00:28.000 spend through my six-figure salary on clothes in fact i was a broke shopaholic for over 10 years

00:00:33.600 before i finally figured out how to control my impulses and my my shopaholic thing is guitar

00:00:39.360 lessons i love taking guitar lessons i love lessons in general teach me i'm a learner you

00:00:46.800 know actually save money i would create budgets then break them declutter my closet and fill it

00:00:52.400 up again feel guilty about spending and then just shot more to distract myself from the

00:00:58.000 i felt guilty so i did it again shame i had thousands of dollars in credit card debt and

00:01:03.360 always felt behind with money i even hid packages from my husband and when he would ask me if what

00:01:08.880 i was wearing was new i would lie about it one day it hit me that my shopping habit was going to start

00:01:14.240 costing me a lot more than just money it was going to start putting other goals i had in life like

00:01:20.000 buying a home, having a family at risk. So I decided to do a three month no buy. A lot of women

00:01:26.320 debt is keeping them away from the man of their dreams. I know a lot of men that have dumped

00:01:32.160 women over debt. I wear I would face my impulses head on. I did the work on myself and in my closet

00:01:37.780 to break free from this fantasy self that I had built up in my head. This fantasy self that kept

00:01:42.740 me buying clothes for a life I didn't have. I learned how to be more selective with my purchases

00:01:47.980 impulses and resist my she's she looks a little bit more poor impulses even when an item was on

00:01:53.600 sale or low stock if you want to learn the exact steps that I used to get here oh my god it's

00:01:58.720 always I was terrible at this I fixed it build my brand and now they're making money off these

00:02:05.100 financials I'm sure some women do it right but I'm just positive that there is a bunch of women

00:02:09.840 that don't know what they're doing advising people financially does anybody else have like

00:02:14.100 a severe shopping addiction like when i say severe like it's bad if i went to a therapist

00:02:20.180 they would probably have a disorder for this if i don't have an active email in my inbox stating a

00:02:27.060 package is on the way or your package has been ordered i literally feel lost i don't feel like

00:02:32.340 myself i feel like other girls have to have this issue it's like really bad yeah again and this is

00:02:40.340 is kind of gonna you know we used to make friends at grocery stores but now we can get everything

00:02:44.240 delivered and i love delivery oh my god i love i love i'm but it's an extra cost right and it's

00:02:50.540 a standard of living women are not are gonna get used to like not going to grocery stores

00:02:54.260 bank account doesn't like it but all right next one exhausting part about having a shopping

00:03:00.560 addiction is knowing that there's more cute clothes out there it does not matter if i just

00:03:04.900 went into a store and just bought 100 items you'd think that 100 pieces of clothing would be enough

00:03:09.460 to sustain a person logically that makes sense realistically after I leave that store where I

00:03:13.920 just bought a hundred items I walk into another store and guess what there's more cute clothes

00:03:17.980 in there buying clothes doesn't satisfy the craving of needing more clothes it's just never

00:03:23.480 enough truly all that I want in this life is just and I've heard some conservatives say that men

00:03:28.800 um if they want a wife should be open to paying women's debt but the issue is it's not like I

00:03:34.600 think a lot of guys would pay 15 grand 20 grand if they knew that the woman would stay for life

00:03:40.120 and stop spending but it's never just like a lot of men they just don't want this to be their

00:03:45.160 problem and that's why as a woman you really got to take accountability for your your your issues

00:03:50.120 so you're not an issue for the person you're dating to be carrie bradshaw and just wear cute

00:03:55.200 little sundresses and kitten heels everywhere i go and always in a way again she's investing

00:03:59.900 into sexuality because the clothes do make women look better i mean i know some of the trends are

00:04:04.180 really ugly but like a well-dressed woman does get a point i should probably get out of this hoodie

00:04:10.500 i honestly don't think that all the clothes in the world would be enough to satisfy that dream

00:04:16.040 for me it's just so hard i go into one store and i see cute outfits and you think that'd be the end

00:04:21.240 of it but no then i go into another store and there's more cute outfits and then i see somebody

00:04:25.740 walking or just complain about everything like i i have to stop spending money i don't have

00:04:31.040 complain down the street that has on a cute office and then i have to know where their outfit is from

00:04:35.920 then i go to that store and there's more cute outfits that cycle never ends it just goes on

00:04:41.280 forever forever okay let's do this one show you the most shocking thing i have going on in my

00:04:46.080 life right now and it's something i've been putting off thinking about for a very long time

00:04:49.520 and now that i'm finally tackling it i find it so shocking i just made a video going through like all

00:04:54.400 my bags i have more here and then i made a video going through like all my chain belts and stuff

00:04:58.720 there's more like old belts here i have more there and obviously there's like all the shoes

00:05:02.560 and stuff but then there's also like humongous piles of clothing literally everywhere i've been

00:05:06.640 telling myself holy crap that is what i need to sell like i have like a full walk-in closet there

00:05:11.840 that's and the thing is these clothes are not cheap but you can't sell them for much like it's

00:05:16.560 gonna take up too much time filled with clothes and like a lot of things is things i don't even

00:05:22.000 like and i don't even wear i just bought it because it made me feel something at the time

00:05:26.160 and lately i've really really been tackling what i call my shopping addiction which i'm sure it is

00:05:30.640 like i'm not even joking like i think this is a point where every addict has to get to before

00:05:34.720 they're able to change their behavior because at this point buying does not make me feel happy

00:05:39.520 anymore it makes me feel kind of disgusting on the inside as someone who posts a lot of content

00:05:43.760 on the internet i feel like a lot of content that's easy to post is like oh i got this new

00:05:47.120 thing i got this new thing i got this new thing and here's where you can buy it and i feel like

00:05:50.320 people also really respond well it's that kind of content like a lot of people are saying i'm so

00:05:53.760 sick of overconsumption but that's still who you follow that's still the content you watch when

00:05:57.200 people buy new things you want to see it as someone who's on the creating end of that like

00:06:01.120 over the last few years i've started thinking about this more and more and more i realized

00:06:04.640 that it was buying things not because i wanted to wear them or i wanted to buy them but because i

00:06:08.720 felt like it would make good content which is like so stupid like the zara sale just happened

00:06:12.960 and normally it would go like nuts and it would spend like literally a thousand dollars and yeah

00:06:16.640 we never do like a cost benefit analysis like is she gonna make a thousand dollars off of the video

00:06:21.920 don't know and i would return some of it but like i would spend a lot of money every time there was

00:06:26.240 a zara sale twice a year and this time for the zara sale i think i bought like a few items but

00:06:30.620 i kept one pair of shoes that i really wanted for a very long time i think one pair of jeans and

00:06:34.620 that's it and before that like i can't even remember the last time i bought something that

00:06:38.060 wasn't like secondhand from like poshmark or depop or thrifted or something i made i'm accumulating

00:06:42.880 things at a much slower rate but every single thing i have now i just love so much so the reason

00:06:48.400 i'm sharing this is basically if you're in the same boat which i know a lot of us are because

00:06:51.320 i see these posts like literally multiple times a week of people saying like i just buy shit because

00:06:54.940 it's the only thing that makes me feel something i really encourage you to examine your behavior

00:06:58.580 and really think about why you're buying stuff and if you can and you have the skill or you have

00:07:03.620 a passion and the time start making things yourself because then it really makes you appreciate each

00:07:07.720 and every single thing you have and anyways i'm gonna stop rambling but if you see a shift in my

00:07:11.960 content of talking less about like oh here's this new thing and this new thing and this new thing and

00:07:15.700 maybe here's more like how i repurpose old things i have or i upcycle things or here's how i style

00:07:21.180 things that i've had for 10 years and haven't worn in five like that's i'm telling you it's

00:07:25.420 gonna happen and i think we're all gonna feel a lot more fulfilled yeah so again don't feel bad

00:07:31.900 for these women um that have a lot of debt that come to you it's usually shopping trips um a

00:07:37.660 college degree they didn't really need so it never really ends so if you guys want make sure you like

00:07:44.140 the video and subscribe to the channel i love you thanks for watching if you want to support me go
