Ever heard the deal about shopping when your belly's rumbling will make you spend more dough? You know, the whole "I'm hungry and I'm buying stuff that you'll never eat because it looks good on the shelf" routine. It can cost you some serious dough.

Well, we got ourselves a new report from the lab boys, baby. Seems that when sad or depressed people go shopping, they'll spend more and bust their budget like a hammer on a cheap watch. Me, personally ... I can see that happening. Lots of times, joes and jills will spend to feel better. That doesn't make it right, it just makes it so, see?

If that's you, then tune in and listen up. Spending to feel better only lasts for a few hours. If you've got bigger issues going on that are bringing you down, then don't be afraid to get some help. If you ain't emotionally clicking on all 8, then don't face it alone.

It's like trying to fix something that's broke with a wrench that's even more broke. And speaking of broke, that's how you'll end up if you spend too much green when you've got the blues.
