It's really low, for me anyway, I have always been a bit of a materialistic person but never thought it could help so much. It totally took my mind off all worries and when I got back home with my $385-worth of clothes I felt like... I don't know, like that was a new start? It probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense but it really did work for me.

I think its just that it gives you something to do rather than it being how you're materialistic so buying stuff would make you feel better. Some people eat, others buy DVDs and others do something else which could be considered a bit OCD. At the end of the day its something that is giving you something to do or taking you away from whatever is on your mind or maybe both.
