How to Get Over a Shopping Addiction?

Question by Angel<3mc: How to get over a shopping addiction?
I am a 17 year old boy, and I have had a shopping addiction problem sense I was 14 and was old enough to work… I just realized that I have spent almost $ 50,000 in the almost 4 years I have worked and I could have saved that money to go to collage 🙁 … any advise?

Thank you for reading my question 😀
