Actually, Aquarius Is Quite Frugal! These Are the Real Big Spenders of the Zodiac
Actually, Aquarius Is Quite Frugal! These Are the Real Big Spenders of the Zodiac
A reader once asked me: “Among the twelve zodiac signs, which ones are the biggest spenders? Is Aquarius one of them? Is Aries the only impulsive one? No way! These signs are even more reckless than Aries!”
“I’m an Aquarius myself,” she continued, “and I don’t know why, but whenever I’m bored, I end up browsing online. Watching food videos makes me want to buy everything!”
I reassured her: “Aquarius tends to be quite rational when it comes to spending. Take you, for example—you might enjoy shopping, but you mostly buy small items, always comparing prices and weighing options before making a purchase. That’s still considered sensible spending, not outright impulsiveness.”
The Aquarius reader pressed further: “Wait, so I’m not even close to being the biggest spender? Then which zodiac signs are the real shopaholics?”
“That’s a long story,” I replied. “Let me break it down for you.”
1. Capricorn: The Silent Spender
The more reserved a sign is, the more likely they are to indulge in retail therapy during downtime. Capricorns, despite their practical exterior, secretly crave warmth and comfort—and shopping becomes their guilty pleasure.
You might argue, “But my Capricorn friends seem so frugal and level-headed!” Here’s the truth: Capricorns are masters of disguise. Even their closest friends, partners, or family members rarely see their extravagant side.
They appear grounded and unassuming, but beneath that facade lies a “spare-no-expense” mentality. Capricorns live by the motto: “Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy what makes me happy.”
Picture this: You’re gaming together, and while others splurge on skins, your Capricorn friend seems indifferent. Little do you know, their inventory is already stacked with premium items. Or imagine them buying the same thing ten times—say, a pair of headphones—only to discard each one after a single use, upgrading relentlessly in pursuit of perfection.
Capricorns also have a loose relationship with money. They rarely track spending or savings; their only financial metric is whether a purchase brings joy. This leads to duplicate buys, forgotten loans, and a home cluttered with barely used items.
And when it comes to love? Capricorns shower their partners with gifts, believing actions speak louder than words. They’ll buy what others won’t, often stretching their budgets to the limit. Post-breakup, a Capricorn might find themselves heartbroken—and financially drained.
2. Scorpio: The Competitive Spender
Scorpios earn well but spend even better. Here’s a pro tip for salespeople: Use reverse psychology on them. They hate being told they can’t afford something—it triggers an instant purchase.
Scorpios can’t stand feeling inferior. In games, they’ll buy the best skins and top-up relentlessly to outshine others. Even in everyday shopping, they’re easily swayed by peer pressure or the urge to “keep up.”
Once committed to a purchase, Scorpios rarely return items—it bruises their pride. Their shopping carts overflow not from need, but from an insatiable desire to prove themselves. Before they know it, they’re drowning in debt.
3. Libra: The Perfectionist Spender
Libras chase perfection in all things—including shopping. Paralysis by analysis leads them to buy multiple versions of the same item “just to be sure.” Their love for luxury and fear of missing out fuels endless splurges.
I often advise Libra friends: “Avoid malls. Others window-shop; you wallet-shop. Where most people think before buying, your eyes override your brain.” A planned $200 outing easily spirals into a $4,000 spree, followed by empty promises to “do better next time.” Spoiler: They never do.
Final Thoughts
To my Aquarius reader: After meeting these three, do you still feel like a shopaholic? Remember, mindful spending matters. Impulse buys today could mean ramen noodles tomorrow—especially for Capricorns, Scorpios, and Libras. Tame that inner spender!
