Spend to Soothe The Pain

Published: Sept. 23, 2022, 8 a.m.

In this podcast, we discuss the signs and effects of compulsive spending and debting.

We learn that compulsive spending and debting:

  1. Are addictions much like any other \u2013 repetitive behaviour that causes harm, and that does not stop unless arrested by another force.
  2. Reveal themselves in many different ways, usually by some form of vagueness and denial.
  3. Are fundamentally spiritual problems that require a spiritual solution, for the idea that we will not be held accountable runs deep.
  4. Can result in financial ruin which affects the entire family; compulsive spending by one person can bring the whole family down.
  5. Is treatable in the form of Debtors Anonymous which was founded to help those with an addiction to spending and its evil helper: unrestrained debting.
