Psychologist Daria Dugentsova says impulsive, thoughtless spending is often associated with childhood trauma and the desire to “cover up” one’s deep problems. Impulsive purchases can be explained by the desire for social recognition. said It is the Public News Service.
Dugentsova believes that the attitude towards money is not associated with psychological deviations, but is explained by the family model in which the person grew up.
“If there is no money in the family, the child will more often choose the option of saving rather than spending thoughtlessly, and if the family saves money frequently, the child will choose the same pattern,” he explained.
The expert believes that if a child is not given an allowance, he will spend this money thoughtlessly as an adult. In addition, people spend a lot of money if they were not immersed in financial matters in childhood and do not have their own money.
Dugentsova believes that shopping cannot help with psychological difficulties. To him, this is a temporary relief from deep problems. She emphasized that one can get a quick endorphin rush through shopping, but it only works for a while.
