I have had several clients who loved the shopping channels on TV. Both of these women were no longer able to go out to the stores to shop.
One of them was prudent, staying within her means and buying gifts for birthdays and Christmas and the occasional pretty for herself.
The other one, however, was not. There was a steady stream of packages coming in just about every day. There was so much that packages often went unopened for days. Much of it was useless and unneccessary. She no longer semed to have any control over her spending habits.
Sometimes, as people age and start losing their independence and mobility they try to compensate with other things. What can you do if Mom or Dad are spending money they can't afford to spend? Read the following article for some pointers.
