Pearl - Modern Women Are Horribly Addicted To Shopping

00:00:00.000 piles of clothing literally everywhere those i've been telling myself holy crap that is a lot of

00:00:04.320 stuff i need to sell what up guys welcome to my reaction series today we are reacting to

00:00:09.600 modern women being shopping addicts so women there's so there is nothing women love more 1.00

00:00:17.680 than spending men's money and we do that in the form of shopping now they may not spend it 0.89

00:00:23.360 immediately like it might be something where we spend it later um but we are definitely the

00:00:29.040 spenders and they're the makers spend through my six-figure salary on clothes in fact i was

00:00:34.000 a broke shopaholic for over 10 years before i finally figured out how to control my impulses

00:00:39.440 and my my shopaholic thing is guitar lessons i love taking guitar lessons i love lessons in

00:00:46.640 general teach me i'm a learner you know actually save money i would create budgets then break them

00:00:53.440 declutter my closet and fill it up again feel guilty about spending and then just shop more

00:00:58.480 to distract myself. I felt guilty so I did it again. Shame. I had thousands of dollars in credit

00:01:05.420 card debt and always felt behind with money. I even hid packages from my husband and when he

00:01:10.840 would ask me if what I was wearing was new I would lie about it. One day it hit me that my

00:01:15.660 shopping habit was going to start costing me a lot more than just money. It was going to start

00:01:20.620 putting other goals I had in life like buying a home, having a family at risk. So I decided to do

00:01:26.720 a three month no buy a lot of women debt is keeping them away from the man of their dreams 0.98

00:01:33.520 i know a lot of men that have dumped women over debt i wear i would face my impulses head on

00:01:37.880 i did the work on myself and in my closet to break free from this fantasy self that i had

00:01:43.080 built up in my head this fantasy self that kept me buying clothes for a life i didn't have i learned

00:01:48.760 how to be more selective with my purchases and resist my she's she looks a little bit more poor 0.65

00:01:54.400 impulses even when an item was on sale or low stock if you want to learn the exact steps that

00:01:59.600 i used to get here oh my god it's always i was terrible at this i fixed it build my brand and

00:02:05.840 now they're making money off of these financials i'm sure some women do it right but i'm just 1.00

00:02:10.020 positive that there is a bunch of women that don't know what they're doing advising people 1.00

00:02:13.960 financially does anybody else have like a severe shopping addiction like when i say severe like

00:02:20.660 it's bad if i went to a therapist they would probably have a disorder for this if i don't

00:02:25.820 have an active email in my inbox stating a package is on the way or your package has been ordered i

00:02:31.800 literally feel lost i don't feel like myself i feel like other girls have to have this issue

00:02:38.040 it's like really bad yeah again and this is kind of gonna you know we used to make friends at

00:02:44.720 grocery stores but now we can get everything delivered and i love delivery oh my god i love

00:02:49.260 i love i'm but it's an extra cost right and it's a standard of living women are not are gonna get 0.90

00:02:54.380 used to like not going to grocery store bank account doesn't like it but all right next one

00:02:59.180 exhausting part about having a shopping addiction is knowing that there's more cute clothes out

00:03:05.080 there it does not matter if i just went into a store and just bought 100 items you'd think that

00:03:09.560 100 pieces of clothing would be enough to sustain a person logically that makes sense realistically

00:03:14.060 after i leave that store where i just bought 100 items i walk into another store and guess what

00:03:18.380 there's more cute clothes in there buying clothes doesn't satisfy the craving of needing more clothes

00:03:24.400 it's just never enough truly all that I want in this life is just and I've heard some conservatives

00:03:29.320 say that men um if they want a wife should be open to paying women's debt but the issue

00:03:34.200 is it's not like I think a lot of guys would pay 15 grand 20 grand if they knew that the woman 1.00

00:03:40.440 would stay for life and stop spending but it's never just like a lot of men they just don't want

00:03:45.920 this to be their problem and that's why as a woman you really got to take accountability for your 1.00

00:03:50.300 your your issues so you're not an issue for the person you're dating to be carrie bradshaw and

00:03:55.880 just wear cute little sun dresses and kitten heels everywhere i go and always in a way again

00:04:00.480 she's investing into sexuality because the clothes do make women look better i mean i know some of 1.00

00:04:04.960 the trends are really ugly but like a well-dressed woman does get a point i should probably get out 1.00

00:04:11.280 this hoodie i honestly don't think that all the clothes in the world would be enough to satisfy

00:04:16.840 that dream for me it's just so hard i go into one store and i see cute outfits and you'd think

00:04:21.880 that'd be the end of it but no then i go into another store and there's more cute outfits and

00:04:26.320 then i see somebody walking or just complain about everything like i i have to stop spending money i

00:04:31.720 don't have complain down the street that has on a cute outfit so then i have to know where 1.00

00:04:35.800 their outfit is from then i go to that store and there's more cute outfits that cycle never

00:04:41.220 ends it just goes on forever forever okay let's do this one show you the most shocking thing i

00:04:46.820 have going on in my life right now and it's something i've been putting off thinking about

00:04:50.060 for a very long time and now that i'm finally tackling it i find it so shocking i just made

00:04:54.660 a video going through like all my bags i have more here and then i made a video going through

00:04:58.100 like all my chain belts and stuff there's more like old belts here i have more there and obviously

00:05:02.980 there's like all the shoes and stuff but then there's also like humongous piles of clothing

00:05:06.480 literally everywhere i've been telling myself holy crap that is a lot of stuff i need to sell

00:05:10.840 like now like a full walk-in closet there that's and the thing is these clothes are not cheap but

00:05:16.000 you can't sell them for much like it's gonna take up too much time filled with clothes and like a

00:05:21.460 lot of things is things i don't even like and i don't even wear i just bought it because it made

00:05:25.900 me feel something at the time and lately i've really really been tackling what i call my shopping

00:05:30.320 addiction which i'm sure it is like i'm not even joking like i think this is a point where every

00:05:34.340 addict has to get to before they're able to change their behavior because at this point 0.98

00:05:38.660 buying shit does not make me feel happy anymore it makes me feel kind of disgusting on the inside 0.99

00:05:43.080 as someone who posts a lot of content on the internet i feel like a lot of content that's 1.00

00:05:46.700 easy to post is like oh i got this new thing i got this new thing i got this new thing and here's

00:05:50.600 where you can buy it and i feel like people also really respond well it's that kind of content like

00:05:54.040 a lot of people are saying like i'm so sick of overconsumption but that's still who you follow 0.94

00:05:57.080 that's still the content you watch when people buy new things you want to fucking see it as someone 0.91

00:06:00.940 who's on the creating end of that like over the last few years i've started thinking about this

00:06:04.680 more and more and more i realized that it was buying things not because i wanted to wear them

00:06:08.560 or i wanted to buy them but because i felt like it would make good content which was like so 0.99

00:06:12.180 fucking stupid like the zara sale just happened and normally it would go like fucking nuts and 0.99

00:06:15.860 i would spend like literally a thousand dollars and yeah we never do like a cost benefit analysis 1.00

00:06:20.000 like is she gonna make a thousand dollars off of the video no reason i would return some of it but

00:06:25.040 like i would spend a lot of money every time there was a zara sale twice a year and this time for

00:06:29.360 the zara sale i think i bought like a few items but i kept one pair of shoes that i really wanted

00:06:33.620 for a very long time I think one pair of jeans and that's it and before that like I can't even

00:06:37.760 remember the last time I bought something that wasn't like secondhand from like Poshmark or 0.99

00:06:41.080 Depop or Thrifted or something I made I'm accumulating things at a much slower rate but

00:06:45.740 every single thing I have now I just love so much so the reason I'm sharing this is basically if

00:06:50.900 you're in the same boat which I know a lot of us are because I see these posts like literally 0.95

00:06:53.680 multiple times a week of people saying like I just buy shit because it's the only thing that 0.81

00:06:56.780 makes me feel something I really encourage you to examine your behavior and really think about why 0.98

00:07:01.880 you're buying stuff and if you can and you have the skill or you have a passion and the time start

00:07:06.240 making things yourself because then it really makes you appreciate each and every single thing

00:07:10.000 you have and anyways i'm gonna stop rambling but if you see a shift in my content of talking less

00:07:14.300 about like oh here's this new thing and this new thing and this new thing and maybe here's more

00:07:17.800 like how i repurpose old things i have or i upcycle things or here's how i style things that i've had

00:07:23.040 for 10 years and haven't worn in five like that's i'm telling you it's gonna happen and i think

00:07:27.800 we're all going to feel a lot more fulfilled. Yeah. So again, don't feel bad for these women

00:07:33.820 that have a lot of debt that come to you. It's usually shopping, trips, a college degree they

00:07:40.680 didn't really need. So it never really ends. So if you guys want, make sure you like the video
