Part 1: Why Do You Shop? Self-Assessment
We're big believers in understanding why you behave in a certain way. As Oprah says, "Way too many of us are walking through life unconsciously." We shop, we spend, we pay the consequences later—yet we don't exactly understand why we do it.

Take this self-assessment and get to the heart of why you are spending money. It will help you get a grip on your spending in the future and make sure this Debt Diet becomes not just a short-term fix, but a way of life.

Which description best describes your mood when you are shopping?

• I am with my family or friends and having a good time.
• I feel empty, alone, or like I need to buy something to make myself feel better.
• I am wasting time and buy something just because it's there.
• I am thinking about something else and buy things I never planned on buying.
• I get a rush and feel out of control, but I can't stop myself.
