This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.
I think there is a slight tendency towards shopping addiction.
As the degree progresses, there are also cases where people go shopping until lies and debts are piled up, and eventually they go bankrupt due to multiple debts. It also leads to family collapse and credit decline, and in some cases, it is possible that it may even lead to crimes such as theft, embezzlement, and fraud, so I think it is essential to deal with and treat it as soon as possible, such as receiving specialized counseling.
Also, it may be one way to set rules (savings amounts, etc.) by describing and clarifying the balance of daily balance of income and expenditure, and suppressing them by adhering to them.
Now, one of the sufferings of eight struggles is “unrequited hardship” (gufftoku). I've also dealt with the following questions a little bit.
The question “Do you have pain when you're too happy?”

It is the suffering of not being satisfied whether you ask for it or not, but in the case of shopping addiction, it is evident, and in the end, you continue to suffer in an unsatisfied emptiness.
One is, as Mr. Urakami also said, I think it is necessary to control stress as a mental problem.
Jusei also asked, “I think it's gambling addiction. She's the worst bride and mother.” I confess on (http://hasunoha.jp/questions/335) that stress was greatly involved in the cause of tobacco/nicotine addiction.
You might think that even though I'm a monk..., I don't have enough training, and well, in reality, I often succumb to quite a bit of stress.
However, as someone who should learn and practice Buddhism, I can't afford to succumb to stress indefinitely, and since I sometimes respond in a bossy manner with hasunoha, I know that if I lose to stress, I'm not persuasive, and of course I haven't completely lost my stress, but I know there are fewer people than before I participated in Hasunoha. I'm really “thankful” even if I take it for the time being.
Anyway, I think it would be good to aim for a solution by firmly attacking the root cause of addiction.
