Spending Disorders
Shopping bulimia (shôp'pîng boo-lee'mee-uh): The vicious cycle of binging (hello, Neiman’s Last Call sale!) and purging (those quarterly dropoffs at Goodwill and the occasional listing on eBay).
Shopping anorexia (shôp'pîng an'uh-rek'see-uh): The end result when the cash register swallows up your credit card and spits it out in a million tiny pieces because you haven’t made even the minimum payment in months.
Shopping dysmorphia (shôp'pîng dis-mor'fee-uh): That hopeless feeling that no matter how much you shop, you still don’t have enough shoes.
Compulsive shopping (kuhm-pul'siv shôp'pîng): If you’re reading this, you don’t need a definition.
