People can be addicted to different things - e.g., alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive (强迫性的) : i.e., they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is irrational - impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit (信用,信贷) , charge accounts (赊购账户) are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special psychology of bargain (特价商品) hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don’t need just because they
A. are really unreasonable
B. need special treatment
C. are really beyond remedy
D. can never get any help to solve their problems with money
