Shopping is generally associated with womenfolk from time immemorial! May be because women are identified as home-makers and it is their responsibility (right!) to shop and store commodities.
The tendency of buying anything and every thing under the sun has emerged as the present trend in all of us world over - the reason may be cheaper price, freebies, seasonal products, fancy purchase, etc.
Times of India reports that German Psychiatric Researchers opine that shopping has become second-nature to women and they are addicted to this habit.
This kind of shopaholism results in huge financial burden and debt trap ruining the families ultimately.
Under the present global economic slow down, restraint on unwanted purchases would prevent 'bailout' situation for the family units and the society at large.
NB: This article does not absolve the menfolks from their responsibility to cut down expenses on (essential!) things like cigarette and other useless and luxury items!
