5 Reasons Why Online Shopping Is Dangerous

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JCU chapter.

 

When online, the urge to splurge takes on a whole new meaning…

 

  1. It’s a lot easier to spend that extra $10… Or any amount of money for that matter. As my mom likes to say, it’s a lot harder to spend when you have your money in front of you.
  1. Online advertisements show up everywhere. That rather pricey pair of Birkenstocks you were eyeing on Macy’s website earlier? They’ll come back to haunt you at some point!
  1. Scavenging your favorite websites for deals is time consuming. Your need to find a sale will soon overcome your desire to type that ten page paper.
  1. As soon as you buy one thing, you’re more likely to fill up your online shopping cart!
  1. You probably won’t have someone there to monitor your spending. If your mom is anything like mine, you’re bound to get a call from her the very next day asking why you spent $100 at Sephora…
