💨 Abstract

Clare, a 31-year-old from Manchester, struggles with overspending despite a decent wage, often running out of money mid-month and relying on loans or credit cards. She seeks help to break this cycle, which she acknowledges as unhealthy. Sarah Davidson, a consumer champion, suggests Clare may have a behavioral disorder related to compulsive spending. Davidson advises Clare to identify her spending triggers, set boundaries, track her expenses, create a budget, and seek professional help if needed.
