Spending may make us happy or unhappy depending on how and why we spend. When we spend money on things that we need and within our limit, it is good. When it becomes a compulsive behaviour, it makes life stressful. Unnecessary sending or spending beyond one’s means has some bad effects. For one thing, it may lead to financial ruin or debt and for another, it may create unhappiness within families. People who overspend are never satisfied with what they have. They always rush for brands, fashion items, designer clothes etc. Over a period oftime, it becomes an addiction which may eventually create psychological problems.
