Psychologists have defined the compulsive spender  that occupies many people to time shopping or thinking about shopping that it affects their lives in an adverse way. This can lead to broken relationships, low self esteem, depression & guilt. Psychologists have also said that guilty feelings actually make the issue worse, turning it in to a vicious cycle. Compulsive shoppers try & soothe the guilt & depression by going out & shopping again.

The biggist Cause
Most compulsive spenders are shopping because they think they actually need what they purchasing, but to cover up the deeper emotions, they are channeling those emotional issues into shopping instead of finding another way to cope.


Money or Credit?
The simplest ways to overspend is to swipe your card & charge it. When you are actually handing over the card, your brain doesn't immediately realise it as spending money. So in lieu of using your card, try to pay with money as much as you can. You'll be less likely to overspend when you can actually see how much your spending, right there at the register.

Track & Budget
Keeping track of your spending habits can open your eyes as to how much you are actually spending. Seeing it down on paper & adding up the total makes you more conscious & more likely to make it work and alter your spending habits.



Step right back & give it some thought.
Next time you need to buy something, wait fifteen minutes before you buy, do you actually need to it ?give it some thought! Window shop or walk around the store while your brain gets over the preliminary excitement. After twenty minutes, you'll be surprised to find out you don't need it anymore.

You may enjoy shopping as much as the next shopper, but you can't let it take over your life. So stick to these simple tips & you'll find your debts go down while your bank account & circle of friends grow!

WHO NEEDS MONEY

The Queen needs more money to maintain Royal homes

The Queen has asked the government for more money to deal with a growing backlog of repairs to Buckingham Palace and other royal residences, newly published accounts reveal.

The monarch currently receives £11.9 million a year from the public purse to maintain and repair her homes which include Windsor Castle and St James's Palace.

But because of a pay freeze she can only carry out emergency repairs to the buildings and says she will need more money to stop the royal households from falling into disrepair.

The current budget means that while a £3.5 million repair to the crumbling facade of Buckingham Palace had gone ahead, other key projects had been forced to be put on hold.

These included replacing lead and slate roofs, refurbishing state rooms and overhauling antiquated heating systems.

Officials at Buckingham Palace claimed that as well as the postponing projects, the Queen had tried to balance the books with increased revenues from her estate.

"However, these initiatives alone are unlikely to be successful in averting the growth in backlog in future years and further funding will be required in due course," it concluded.

The claims were outlined in the Queen's Official Expenditure accounts for the year to April.

They show that the cost of supporting the monarchy fell by £1.8 million in the last financial year to £32.1 million, equivalent to a saving of three pence per person.

Thanks to a slight reduction in staff – from 111 to 106 – and a pay freeze, the Civil List spending fell from 14.2 million to £13.7 million throughout the year.

Property management dropped from £15.4 million to £11.9 million and maintaining website and press relations remained about the same at £500,000.

However Royal travel costs rose from £3.9 million to £6 million in 2010/11.

This was mainly due to a one-off repayment of £1.5 million from the trading in of the Royal helicopter keeping costs down last year but was also due to an increase in fees for using RAF aero planes.

This resulted in the royal household chartering more private planes increasing travel fees by £600,000.

The report listed journeys costing £10,000 or more by air or rail.

These included £356,253 for the charter flight costs of the state visit of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh to the United Arab Emirates and Oman in November.

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall's trip to India as part of an official Foreign Office visit in October cost £298,089 in charter flights.

The Duke of York's charter flight travel in April last year as part of an official UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) and Foreign Office visit to Italy and central Asia cost £121,810.

Sir Alan Reid, keeper of the privy purse, said the fall in spending had been achieved through increased income generation, deferral of property maintenance and a pay freeze for staff which will continue this year.

But he warned that it would be "very difficult" for expenditure to reduce "very much further" without having an effect on the royal household's work to support the Queen and the long-term health of the estate.

"The Queen is very keen that the royal household should continue to reduce its expenditure in line with public expenditure reductions," he said.

"The decrease in expenditure is due mainly to increased income generation, the deferral of property maintenance expenditure and the implementation of a pay freeze.

"This pay freeze will continue on to this year."

He added: "Over the past five years, the Queen's official expenditure has reduced by 19 per cent in real terms and while the royal household will continue to identify efficiencies, it will be very difficult for overall expenditure to reduce very much further without impacting on the royal household's activities in support of the Queen and the long-term health of the estate."

The accounts do not include the cost of providing security for the Royal family.

DOES A One of It's Kind Viralwriter Realy Work ?

is simply THE BEST Viral invitation (Tell A Friend) tool on the planet. None of the competition comes even close. IS THIS REALLY TRUE ?

Sending automatic invitations through viral writer

As far as online marketers and online entrepreneurs are concerned, finding the ideal marketing tool has always been like a quest for the Holy Grail. This does not necessarily mean that the quest is impossible. There are many online marketing schemes that promise almost miraculous results but distinguishing between mere gilded covering and the real thing is frequently difficult. Some people end up broke and frustrated in their quest for the ideal online marketing tool. Most of the claims being promoted online are just too good to be true. On the other hand, the viral inviter maybe costly but it is simple and straightforward enough to be credible.

But if you are familiar of how a computer virus works, it will be very easy for you to grasp the fundamental concepts of the friend writer. Well, this is not about creating a spyware, worm, or Trojan but the basic concepts are similar. For instance, computer viruses can spread through emails. They can attach to emails and infect the computer of the email recipient. Upon infection, the computer and email account of the recipient can be used as incubator and launching pad of the virus to spread to other systems. An online marketing strategy is patterned on these concepts but on a non-destructive and non-invasive manner.

Social networking sites such as Facebook, Hi5, Friendster, and Multiply are best examples of websites using the viral writer style marketing strategy. These websites are very successful because of the ability of their promotional system to propagate through referrals. These social networking sites have sophisticated programs that can automatically send invitations and updates to all the referrals. A new subscriber simply has to enter his or her email account and the website will automatically send invitations to all the email contacts of the new subscriber. The same method can now be used by ordinary online business owners without the need for spending a fortune. Ben Judah
