            People can be addicted to different things— e．g．alcohol, drug, certain foods，or eventelevision．People who have such an addiction are pulsive: they have a very powerfulpsychological need that they feel they must satisfy．According to psychologists, many peopleare pulsive spenders．They feel that they must spend money．This pulsion, like mostothers, is impossible to explain reasonably．For pulsive spenders who buy on credit, chargeaccounts are even more exciting than money．In other words, pulsive spenders feel thatwith credit, they can do anything．Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greaterthan the pleasure that they get from the things they buy．
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting．To save money, of course, mostpeople look for sales, low prices, and discounts．Compulsive bargain hunters，however, oftenbuy things that they don't need just because they are cheap．They want to believe that they arehelping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game．When they can buysomething for less than other people, they feel that they are winners．Most people, expertsclaim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and thereal reason．
It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, butalso business people．Stores, panies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business．They consider people's needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs andopinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods．
Psychologists often use a method called behavior therapy（疗法）to help individuals solvetheir personality problems．In the same way, they can help people who feel that they haveproblems with money．
