Confessions of a non-shopaholic

Marriage on the cards=shopping has its effect of your credit/debit cards.Indeed, ever since my wedding has been fixed, one of the patent questions that has come my way ...'So, have you stared shopping?'..Though, I've never been a shopaholic ,I've observed broadly two kinds of shoppers:
1. who shop with an impulse
2. who shop with an agenda
For the first group, more often than not,it's just shopping for the sake of it...they don't have to wait for ceremonies or festivals or end-of-season sale's, for them it is a perennial extravaganza that goes on throughout the year. However, to be a passionate shopper like this , one needs to have a fat bank-balance, so that any amount can be shelled out anytime for anything that catches one's eye in stores.
But, for the second group, buying things come into the picture only when they are needed...actually, only when they are indispensable.
The big question is, which group is better?
definitely, it's not advisable to be extravagant for one's passion for shopping & pick up anything & everything that comes in the way. Also, it's not right to be miser enough to use things till they become unusable & only then go for buying a new substitute.In fact, very often it's seen that in such situations owing to the urgency of a purchase, the buyer has to compromise in buying whatever is available at that moment, which if not up to the mark gets damaged very soon & has to be replaced again resulting in double investment.
Shopping, I feel should be a balance between need & want , and a well-estimated manifestation of one's affordability combined with desire to fulfill one's own satisfaction.
