Daily Bread
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Psalm 150:6
Are You A Compulsive Spender?

To help assess whether or not you have some of the traits of a compulsive spender, read over the statements below and check those statements that apply to you.

  • It takes 20% or more of my income to pay my debts.
  • I spend when I am depressed and / or angry.
  • I am nearing or at the limit on lines of credit.
  • I make only minimum payment on revolving charges and loans.
  • I am charging food / groceries because I lack cash.
  • I frequently pay late charges on bills.
  • I tap into my savings to pay current bills.
  • I have an insufficient or non-existent savings cushion.
  • I would be in immediate financial difficulty if I lost my job.
  • I am being threatened with repossession or having earnings garnished.
  • I work overtime to make ends meet.
  • I have no idea how much I owe.
  • I worry about money a lot and feel hopeless and depressed.

If you have checked five or more of the statements, you may have a spending problem and may find it helpful to look at why you are spending the money. If you feel that low self-esteem may be at the root of your problem, as in many compulsive disorders, a professional counselor may be the answer. Get help by contacting CONCERN: EAP or your physician for assistance.
