Influencer shares '90 days without shopping' routine on TikTok

A few fingers on the screen are enough to see a series of trends that roll in TikTok, this time is: 90 days without purchases.

For many people, taking out their credit card and going to the mall warms their hearts. But be careful: this can be Undergraduate Research, or compulsive buying disorder (oniomania), which affects 5% of the population, according to a study by the magazine Comprehensive Psychiatry. The problem can cause financial damage to those who suffer. The problem was portrayed in the film “Becky Boom's consumer delusions".

The film tells the story of a financial journalist who, during her working hours, teaches her how to manage her money, but on the weekends she becomes a compulsive consumer, who runs away from the bank manager and accumulates a lot of debt.

And the influencer?

The influencer Yasmin Scorse it didn't need to be diagnosed or go through any hardship, and it makes it clear that the 90 days are not about no purchases in general, but about UNNECESSARY purchases.

Yasmin decided to create a secondary account to publish trending content. The account titled as “imnottheceo” already has more than 187 thousand followers. The first video was published on February 23rd, right after the influencer's trip to New York.

Yasmin made it clear that on this trip she bought “everything and more” with the money she took. She decided to contextualize her followers about the situation.

"I was never a child who wanted things, but everything my parents gave me was the essentials for me to live. If I wanted to eat McDonald's with my friends I had to save my own money, the coins at the bottom of the pencil case, you know?".

"As I grew up, started to work, I started earning money online and then from the physical store. Then, things started to become difficult for me. I would go to the mall, see a blouse and think: 'Why won't I buy it if I can afford it?' This started to bother me because I haven't seen distance between me and the things that are within my reach to buy“, he commented.

Yasmin highlighted that she did not reach a level of compulsion, but that her desire is to create this distance between herself and material goods.
