over-exsesive shoppers?? by Shaden AbouJaoude


What people do not realize is that at least 6 times a week they purchase something new and do not try to refuse it people. In then United States people spend over three thousand dollars every month. Sometimes even without realizing it. Most of the time boys spend it on electronics and games, and although I hate to admit this as a girl, but girls mostly spend money on shopping. Which is why I chose this picture, and also because I thought it was incredibly cute. So in the end 9 words mean a lot more. It also means that cat likes shoes.

  1. JAJAJA Why do people are over-exesive shoppers? Do they find happyness or feel better when they buy and feel it theirs?

  2. I like this because it is funny because why would a cat want to buy shoes, I doesn't have feet and they wouldn't like shoes because they are cats.

  6. That cat is cute -_- haha I agree, people spend a lot of money in things that are not even worth it. Girls do spend a lot of money only in shopping and I most admit that I do to...

  7. Wow! I can't believe people actualy spend 3,000 dolars. That's a big buddget! Anyways, It is an amazing fact and it's very curious how many notice what boys and girls usualy buy. I think it would be incredible if this fact actualy included a chart, one specifying ages of between 9-25 of both girl and boy. This would help a lot more picturing what people are buying.

  8. interesting facts, and true for the United States. But there's a point to be made if you ask the same question directed to the Guatemalan individuals. Certainly, their views on shopping are quite different.

  9. Its true people spend their money in different things and they spend them in great amounts of money .
    And spend their money on things that aren't that important as rent, food.. etc.
    They should think twice before spending that amount of money 6 times a week!

    I think you are right about people being able to admit they buy 6 new things every week. I definitely LOVE buying NEW Books. :b

  12. jajajajajajaja what is that i mean the cat wants to buy shoes she needs to buy like four pairs of shoes thats just to much money

  13. hahahahaha...Shaden! That was a funny and interesting post!!! The fact that US citizens spend these amounts of money really makes me think that 3000 dollars is a whole lot of money.
    Also, like Lars said, it would be really good if you could make this type of study on the Guatemalan population.
    Once again, Good Job!!!

  16. follow up comment: An example of a woman who spends money crazily in shopping is a mom. When I went to Paris with my family, my mom would spend her entire days just buying and buying all she could find. And this was only in one store!

  17. That is one very interesting fact. Although I don't recall buying at least six different things every week, I guess it could happen, I may just not be paying attention to what I'm spending on.

  18. i agree that many girls spend their money on shopping. but, i don't spend my money buying clothes or shoes or sth!! i think it's just a waste of money so i agree this thing in a way but i don't agree in another way.

  19. I agree with Sang Eui...i think it depends on the type of girl or boy you are.. but people actually do buy a lot of stuff and waste their money without noticing how much they spent.

  20. haha I LOVE that picuture!! It's funny. Especially because it's very true! And we do buy a lot...

  21. I really don't see why people have to buy so much stuff. I understand if you shop for clothes every 3 weeks but every week is way too much

  22. I agree very much with Arige, because it depends on who you are and your type of personality, to buy things, because you don't necessarily buy thing like clothes or video games 6 times a week. I personally think that there is some exaggeration in that, but the picture is really cute!

  23. I agree with the statement, now people spend amounts of money just for things that are not that necessary. For example, girls are crazy about sales... and use a lot of money without noticing it. People should think before buying something.

  24. This article may be true for people in the US. I don't think it's true about everyone. There are people who like to spend their money elsewhere. It just depends on your personal tastes.

  25. Agreeing with Stacy, I do think that people in the US spend more money. However, it does apply to everyone the fact that we always have to think before spending money.

  26. Lars, I believe you are right! Not only you have to realize that "shopping views," are not the same but prices to. Furthermore not all countries spend the same amount of cash, but who am I to criticize on things that don't apply towards the subject entierly?

  27. I also agree with Stacy. How much you buy and what you buy depends on your personality.

  28. I think one should be more careful on how much money we spend. Although we all want various things we should control our temptations and be more realistic in the amount of thing we buy.

  29. I think spending money in shopping is just wasting of money. Maybe others will think different but this is what I think. Because who knows sometimes there are many people who has lot of money but only wastes their money only to shop!! That's crazy

  30. I agree with Ricardo...people should be more careful with what they buy and how much money they spend...and even though they have alot of money they should leave some for emergencies! You never know what´s going to happen!
