The increasingly sophisticated technology has provided many conveniences, including in terms of shopping. You can do it anywhere, even from home so you don't have to leave the house. All you have to do is open your subscription e-commerce website, and goods from abroad can also be obtained. Moreover, more and more shopping sites also often offer tempting discounts. It's a shame if you miss it!
Starting from gadgets, and clothing, to food, everything can be searched by simply touching your smartphone screen. But even though it seems easy, online shopping can also lead to more wasteful spending.

According to an Indonesian Clinical Psychologist, online shopping does have a larger number of numbers. But unfortunately, until now there has been no research on online shopping habits compared to conventional ones in Indonesia. But it is certain that most Indonesians basically like shopping, even more than people abroad.
Statistically, it can be seen that the number of Indonesians who shop online continues to increase. This is also due to Indonesians who like to do activities online. More and more people are using smartphones accompanied by the convenience of 'just a click'.
The industry is now starting to shift. More and more shops are closing and prefer to open online. Because if you open a shop, industry players are also burdened by the rental budget and other things.

Online shopping sites also often offer special promos when making payments via credit card. It is increasingly making people crazy to shop online. If misguided, it would be a boomerang for you. You become more extravagant and credit card bills swell.
Even though the reality is that it makes it easy, if you are not careful and wiser, online shopping can also harm you.
