A shopaholic is a person considered to be addicted to shopping (also known as “Compulsive Shopping”), and now more than ever is easier to buy things due to credit cards and loans. Do you spend much on clothes or not at all? Are you worried that you might be a Shopaholic? Or are you a Fashion Victim or a Balanced Shopper? Take the quiz to find out!

1/15 You go shopping when…

I need a new jacket/jeans/t-shirts/etc.

I'm forced to

The new collections arrive

I feel depressed or angry: shopping always makes me feel better
2/15 How do you pay for your purchases?

Credit cards: plural because I own several

Cash: I don’t own a credit card

Cash or check or something: I don’t really recall
3/15 What drives you to buy new clothes?

Family: they say my clothes are too worn out and I need new ones

Necessity but sometimes and if I have the money, I might purchase a item of clothing that I really liked

The fashion world (designers, influencers, fashionistas): I must have the latest trends in my closet always

I just feel the urge to shop and whenever I see something that I like I must have it whatever the cost
4/15 You buy clothes…

According to my needs at the moment and my personal style and body type

Whenever I need to feel good and on the top of the world

According to the latest trend

Because mine are old and worn out
5/15 Did you ever shopgrift (also known as "wardrobing")?

I don’t even know what that is

Always! How else would I rock my expensive and trendy Instagram outfits?

No and I don’t think that’s proper

Yes!
6/15 Can you leave a store without purchasing at least one thing?

Yes: if there's nothing that I like

Yes: if the new collection hasn't arrived yet

No: I always feel the urge to buy something

Yes: if I don't find a t-shirt that fits me
7/15 There’s a huge sale (-50 off) on a designer brand. What’s your reaction?

I already bought the trendy pieces when they were launched on the market

I think it’s a great opportunity and might go check on it if I have the time. If I end up going, I only buy something I truly like and will wear

I cancel all of my appointments for that day and wait in line until the opening hour. Once inside I indiscriminately pick up stuff and head for the cashier

Who cares?
8/15 You really liked this new jacket but can’t afford it at the moment. What do you do?

I need to have this jacket so I’ll get the money somehow (borrow from friends or family, steal credit cards, or ask for a loan)

I decide I don’t really need a new jacket right now and maybe I’ll buy it when my finances allow it

I only go to the mall whenever necessary so this would never happen to me

I already bought 10 trendy jackets for this season
9/15 Did you ever bought things that you have never used?

Whenever I make a purchase, I rarely regret it

All the time: my closet is full of price tags

What’s the point of buying stuff and not wearing it?

No: I always wear my trendy clothes
10/15 Do you ever lie to your friends and family about how much money you spend on clothes?

No.

Yes because I feel guilty and ashamed

Who does that?

Of course not! I enjoy bragging about how rich I am
11/15 Do you have hidden purchases from friends or family?

Yes, I fear they might get upset about my spending habits

No! I always rub my trendy clothes on their faces!

No. I often go shopping with friends or family

Why would anyone do that?
12/15 Have you broken relationships and lost the respect and trust of people in your life because of your shopping behavior?

Yes

No but I know they are jealous and wished they were as trendy as I am

No

What?
13/15 Do you set a limit as to how much money you want to spend shopping?

I get so excited when I'm shopping I hardly realize how much money I'm spending

Yes and I usually stick to those limits

I don’t need to because I don’t spent much money on clothes
14/15 If you see something you really like, do you ask yourself if you really need it?

I never go to the mall.

No.

Yes. And if I don’t need it, I won’t buy it.

Being trendy is a basic human right not a need!
15/15 You come across one of your favorite clothing shops. What’s your reaction?

If I have the time, I go in but just browse. If you find something you like and can afford it, you might consider buying it

I don’t have a favorite clothing shop

I already bought the new trendy pieces when they arrived to the shop/online

I walk in and pick several items of clothing, regardless of my finances, and head towards the cash register
