Sally's Book:  Spent - Break the Buying Obsession
and Discover Your True Worth
Sally K. Palaian, Ph.D.
Sally’s new book is a tested, step-by-step guide to help people break the spending
obsession—by looking within.  Today, Americans are saving less, carrying larger debt loads,
losing their homes to foreclosure, and filing bankruptcy in record numbers. Yet, people
continue to spend more than they can afford.  In
Spent, Sally Palaian examines the
underlying emotional, familial, and societal factors that trigger obsessive behaviors related
to money and offers proven plans for resolving these issues.
Spent teaches readers to
control shopping, pay off debt, develop budgets and become financially competent using:

    •  Easy-to-use assessment tools that pinpoint the severity of the problem
    •  Questionnaires that identify root causes of unhealthy financial behaviors
    •  User-friendly exercises that motivate change from within

Sally Palaian’s system for financial recovery is also designed to help hoarders, financial
codependents, and underachievers attain lasting, positive change and a healthy view of one’
s true value in life.  Sally Palaian, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist specializing in the
treatment of addictive behaviors. She has served as an expert in the media on mental
disorders and spending, most recently for MSN Money.  Spent is her first book.
