The Issue With Our Retail Therapy Culture
- By
Julia Austin
We condone it in one another
We don’t do each other any favors, either. If a friend says, after a stressful time, “I’m treating myself to a shopping trip”, we say, “Good for you.” Or we say, “You deserve it!” We use language around it as if it is some healthy, beneficial activity. We applaud our friend as she rides off to max out her credit cards, and she feels more encouraged because of it.
