Welcome to Shoppers Anonymous- also known as SA.

I'm Becca. I came up with the idea of SA earlier today. Taeler is second in charge. @Taeler

You might have some questions, so we came up with some as well as answers.

What is SA?
SA is a group that can get together to work out their spending issues. Anyone can attend and this is a choice, not a 'must.

How long is the process?
However long you would like. There is no time limit for this, this will be a self paced activity but we will all be in this together as a group. - Becca

You have all the time in world to accomplish your goal. This is a self paced activity and you'll never be alone thus having more confidence in succeeding. - Taeler

Why should I?
This is a great way to become less of a spender. If you're someone who's wanting to save up for an ISS, those shop till achievements, or just a heck of a lot of sP, then this is great for you. It will be a long term goal (most likely) but it can be completed whenever you would like. - Becca

Saving up sP is a smart idea for the future. Not only can you accomplish the ultimate subeta goal of being the richest person, but you can also buy more expensive items in the future and not feel bad about it later. I know as a former spender that I felt bad after spending too much when I don't have that sort of sP to spend. - Taeler

What must I do to succeed?
Control your temptation to spend, talk to us and the others who are in this group. If you have the urge to buy something, ask yourself some questions. "Do I really need this item?", "Could I find a better deal somewhere else?", "Will I actually use this?" - Becca

To succeed, you must be convinced that this is what you want to do. If you are not convinced, you won't have the confidence and that means you might quit early. Diffidently ask questions before you buy something. Asking questions minimizes the urge to absolutely spend it all. - Taeler

What do I do if I do spend? How do I punish myself?
You're going through a relapse, haha. Tell us all about it. But what you can do is for the following week don't allow yourself to spend any sP to make up for a sudden splurge.

Don't be hard on yourself though. I'm sure all of us will have problems trying to resist it. I know I've told myself MANY times that I'm just going to go ahead and spend my sP, but I've forced myself not to. I believe that I can get farther. - Becca

Punish yourself by not spending for the rest of the week... Honestly, just DON'T SPEND (: - Taeler

Okay, I need to spend on SOMETHING, how much can I spend weekly?
The best way to quit would be to spend none at all. Although you might do quests and such, that's the exception. - Taeler

We've also got a group; "Shoppers Anonymous"
Pingable by #SA

We're also considering a cult in the future, although its optional if you want to join or not. Some of you probably will already be in cult's or may not like them.

Also, we would like to do a weekly update of how everyone is doing. We could pick a day that would work with everyone it'll just be a little update to see how your going, being on task with this and what not.

Saving your sP can be a fun thing to brag about as well! Using the Bragging forum can boost your confidence and minimize the need to spend with people congratulating you for your job well done. - Taeler

If you've got any other questions feel free to ping, comment or sMail myself or @Taeler


There is now a cult, if you'd like an invite just ping Taeler for one!


I'm sure this will be a great group. We can all introduce ourselves sometime or another

Everyone can do it, and don't feel forced to join, it's a choice. Hope we can both help(:

For sure @Jovi@Taeler

@Zebra

We should make a cult that not just is intended for Shopaholics but for anyone and could have a shopaholic section. (:
Im just bursting with ideas.. haha.
Who knows if it would go anywhere but hey! (:

@Taeler
Yeah true! If you want to make the cult, go ahead!

@Zebra

Let me see what I can do(:

@Taeler
Alrighty

Ello peoples cx

@Sabastein
I think its the same for all of us

@Deadbeat
No problem! I saw your post on my richest user thread and realized that I forgot to respond to what you said, and looks like you do spend quite a bit haha. But that's okay!

But thank you I hope it works!

@JENNI
Fantastic the more members the merrier!

@Zebra

Currently editing the cult as of now. (:

@Zebra

@Taeler
I'm really bad at layouts but if I find any I will let you know!

@Sabastein
@Taeler did you can ask her for an invite

@Zebra

I sure did, I sent one out to her, (:

@Deadbeat
Oh my xD I'd love to get a new wig, but uh, doesn't look like that'll be happening for a bit haha.
Mhm we have one! Taeler made it. Comment/ping etc her for an invite!

@Taeler
Okay great

Ahh yes! I'm a member now, whohoo c:
So what kind of "activities" should we do to help? :0

@Sabastein
Were just in the beginning process so there won't be much yet. If you can think of anything that'd be great.

@Deadbeat
Haha awe thank you! ♥

@Zebra
Ohh alright I'll try c:

@Sabastein
Great
In the mean time I'll just be pricing my shop~

@Zebra
Okie dokie then c:
Have fun with that. I hate having to price everything by hand, ugh, takes forever.
Hah, my lazy side is showing ♥

I'm joining as well.
c:

@Deadbeat

(:

Oh thank you! And that's cool
By the way I like the simplicity of your profile, & Owl City is amazing!

@Sabastein
I hate it too, but I won't obviously buy a GA xD I have to price 600 ish items by hand. I've got like just under 400 left to price :C

@CrookedVein
Welcome to SA Keana
What's your main shopping addiction? :O

@Zebra
Oh my gosh, wow.
Yea this is where i would buy a GA and just autoprice everything. Phew!
I bet you'll get rich super fast with all of those items your selling though xD

Hmm I have a couple ideas kinda.. I don't know how good they are but maybe you'll like one? xP

@Zebra
Well, I was trying to save up for a ISS. But I keep getting distracted by wigs and buying CSC. D":
I'm working on my pets right now as well.. distractions galoree~~

@SKITTLEZ66
Its only for the best

@Sabastein
Yeah, thank god I have some patience. Ah but there all cheap junk items so it won't be much :c

ooh throw your ideas at me!

@JENNI
I know, its gorgeous ♥
BUT. Y'know what? It's new. That item is going to be half the price in a week or so. JUST WATCH. Don't buy it. Trust me on that.

@CrookedVein
But you have a very nice UN! :O
Awe Hm, have you ever considered a limit to each category of things what you spend your sP on generally?


@Deadbeat
No problem!
& it surely is cute

Me too! But I started listening to OC 2 years ago, when there weren't even popular whatsoever. What sorta ticks me off is how Fireflies made him so popular

@SKITTLEZ66
Sure is

@Taeler
Can you invite me as well, please? c:

@Zebra
Awe, thank-you.
I am sort of hoping to change it to my real name, which is Keana.
No I have not considered that. o:

@Zebra

So far, so great. It's coming along greatly! I just have to find out how to edit the damn thing and were good to go(:
