It's a cycle. You feel sad, buy something and feel happy for a while but then you're sad again because you've spent money you don't have. The same with over eating. To appease the guilt you buy or eat more. I've caught myself feeling this way but had watched a friend of mine spiral out of spending control so knew to look for happiness elsewhere. You have a beautiful blog btw. Love the content and it's pleasing to the eye. I have to agree with it. It’s a cycle.

Isn't that why car salesman try to get you all hyper and excited and frenzied -- then get you to sign the papers? I know that when I'm sad I tend to just say "screw it I'll buy the Doritos even though they're not on sale this week..." I dunno – I think being emotional can inhibit caution with the wallet.

I would guess that sad people often make purchases in order to cheer themselves up or to satisfy an empty place from deep within. How often do we turn to chocolate after a fight with our husbands or buy a new pair of shoes after we realize that all those fall outs with hubby have made our jeans too tight? lol Doesn’t surprise me at all!
