Bipolar?

Quote From: lovestosew

Could some of the over spending be a sign of bi-polar? 

There is a new show that a man comes out and puts people on a budget and helps people set goals, could it be a lack of knowledge ?? or is it  just one being a  spoiled brat? Some times we create a dependent situation and them get up set when we want to stop.

 I don't know about the bipolar. I do think that most times it's like Carlina with most people though to different degrees. I think most of the spending problems come from a belief in personal entitlement...I'm in this world just like everyone else and I have just as much right to "it" as anyone else, without the belief in personal responsibility. To many have no clue that they jeopardize their own future well-being by thinking they have every right to "it" now any way they can get it. Money will always come in somehow, right. Wrong!

And yes on creating the dependent situation(s). Also though, there are those who belief they have the right to be dependent. The right to have someone else take care of the needs they have that they can not, or should not have to, supply for themselves. Some just never get past that part of their lives when a "parent" took care of everything important for them, and the fun stuff was/is their only responsibility.

Her spending & justifications are so over the top that I'm wondering if she has a compulsive disorder.  shouldn't she be evaluated by a psychiatrist (MD) just to rule out anything besides supreme selfishness, arrogance & lack of judgment?
