Confessions of a Shopaholic

In today’s credit driven economy, one can’t laugh off the fact that the movie “Confessions of a Shopaholic” hits us one way or another.  This light spirited movie actually hits us with the hard truth: This is actually happening in today’s world.  There are really people who are sunk in debt from excessive shopping; both men and women. 

confessions

We may find it hard to admit but debt is becoming one of the biggest problems we are facing at this time.  We all want what we can’t have, that’s human nature.   However,  some people are actually using their brains and making decisions wisely by not giving in to each and every desire they have.  Credit cards somehow assure us that we have money to buy things eventhough we really don’t.  We get so stuck up to buying things we want that we forget what the basic necessities are and what budget and savings mean.  We, most importantly tend to forget living a lifestyle according to what we really earn.

I like the twist and turns of the movie, especially when she was  on TV and had a hall of fame moment from her credit collector.  Embarassing, yes.  But some of us won’t realize things until we are put to shame  or some sort of punishment.

Another point i got from this movie is: Addiction can really mess up your life.  Shopping may sound a bit harmeless for an addiction.  But the movie just shows us how bad it is to the point that she almost lost her best friend and the man she loves.

Each addiction ends up in lies, no sense of time, no concern for others and of course, followed by loss of friends, trust from family and loved ones.   Good thing she got back up after realizing what was happening to her. 

I would recommend everybody to watch this movie.  We all could use a good laugh and a life lesson.

    The movie was cool, do they plan a sequel? Reminds me a bit of SATC…

    I sure hope so. Teen version of SATC I suppose.
