It can be very difficult to avoid buying things when we live in a society packed with all sorts of businesses trying to draw in customers. The average person comes across hundreds of advertisements every day, and online shopping has made it easier than ever to spend large amounts of money without awareness. To change our shopping habits, we have to use a lot of willpower. The first big step in breaking any addiction is to understand that we have lost control of our own behavior.
當我們生活在一個充滿著各種試圖吸引顧客的商家的社會中，很難避免購買東西。一般人每天都會偶然看到數百則廣告，而線上購物使人們比以往更容易在不知不覺中花掉大量的金錢。要改變我們的購物習慣，我們必須使用很大的意志力。戒掉任何成癮的第一步就是要明白我們已經控制不住自己的行為。
