The Latest In Compulsive Shopping – Oniomania

/in /by

Did you hear about this story?

Betty Jean Barachie of Kunkletown, Pa., was sentenced to 27 months in prison in 2006 for embezzling $1.5 million over eight years from the credit union where she was a branch manager.

She used the money to buy, among many, many other things, hundreds of pairs of shoes, more than 3,000 books, 58 coats, 16 chain saws and a $25,000 John Deere tractor.

What do you think led Betty Jean to do this?

There are many reasons and situations that lead people to shop in excess such as:

  • Impulse buying
  • No limitations on finances
  • Addiction
  • Avoidance
  • No budget
  • Want to make others feel good
  • Keep up with the Jones’

Oniomania (from Greek ὤνιος onios “for sale” and μανία mania “insanity”[1]) is the technical term for the compulsive desire to shop.

Compulsive shopping hasn’t been studied to the same extent as other dependencies or addictions. However, some people consider it to be a very serious and widespread problem that can cause grave social, financial, and emotional effects.

I am curious, what do you think…

  • Do you think a person who is out of control with their shopping is a shopaholic or do you think they are hoarding?
  • Do you think a person who is out of control with their spending is organized or disorganized?

Let’s talk about this and let me share with you what I have experienced first hand in my practice.

3 Important Questions To Ask Yourself

HAVE YOU EVER FELT like you were stuck in a rut?

And then find yourself wondering if things will ever change?

But then when you start to really think about it, you know it’s going to take something more this time to make a difference – for real change to occur.

You realize that you are going to need some motivation to get you back into the groove of things, however the motivation that you know you need becomes a game of hide and seek.
