V. Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions

Are you a compulsive spender, or do you hold on to your money as long as possible? Are you a bargain

hunter? Would you rather use charge accounts than pay cash? Your answers to these questions will reflect

your personality. According to psychologists, our individual money habits not only show our beliefs and

values, but can also stem from past problems.

Experts in psychology believe that for many people, money is an important symbol of strength and

influence. In addition, many people consider money a symbol of love. They send it to their family and

friends to express love, or they buy themselves expensive presents because they need love.

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. 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 hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for

sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they do not

need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are

really playing an exciting game: when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they

are winning.

Psychologists often use method called "behavior therapy" to help individuals to solve their personality

problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money: they give

them "assignments". If a person buys something in every store he enters, for instance, a therapist might

teach him self-discipline in this way: on the first day of his therapy, he must go into a store, stay five

minutes and then leave. On the second day, he should stay for ten minutes and try something on. On the

third day, he stays for fifteen minutes, asks the salesclerk a question, but does not buy anything. Soon he

will learn that nothing bad will happen to him if he does not buy anything, and he can solve the problem of

his compulsive buying.
