Some people get into debt by buying things they don't need and can't afford. What are the reasons for this behaviour? What action can be taken to prevent people from having this problem?

It is now a known fact that buying things is the new addiction of our century. Some people, in fact, take tons of credits from the bank to buy anything they want, whether it's a need or not, until they find themselves in debt. I will be explaining why

for instance

, there was a group of girls trying to convince freshman girls to be more like them and buy extremely expensive stuff.

Although

these seem very innocent and harmless, they are the major reasons behind

this

problem.

Nevertheless

, there might be an option for these addicts of spending money. In my point of view, banks should control the accounts in which there are more than usual outgoings. The owners of the accounts ought to be responsible for these expenses and report to the bank to verify that the spendings are due to their need. The ones who are detected as shopping addicts should have a limited account to buy specific things

such

as daily products. To conclude, there are lots of causes behind buying unnecessary and expensive items, mainly the toxic social media in

nd unhealthy friendships. Many things can be done in order to stop

such

behaviour, like the control and the limit of bank accounts.
