also

the whole family that may lead to dire straits. Another major cause is the maximum number of involvement in social media ( Facebook, Instagram and Viber etc). To explain it, the highest percentage of people are using Facebook in their leisure time where they can see various adverts. And, those can easily create the desire for purchasing anyhow.

has many negative effects as compared to the positive.
