Parents give gifts insted of attention 2. as a child you didn't have a lot of money so you spend it now 3. or "we buy as a way of trying to deal with our fears of death and the inevitability of death" (CNN)
1/3 of compulsive shoppers become hoarders. 6% of women and 5.5% of men are compulsive shoppers.
