impulsive shopper cause and effect

I have to write a cause and effect essay on impulsive shopper and i really have no clue or how to start on my essay. I come up with many effects but I'm unsure about the cause.
my effect are financial problems, stress, and relationship problem.

cause: not having a fufilling life, always wanting more and believing it will complete the person

Have you read any cause and effect essays? Google this: sample cause and effect essay

After you read some, decide what the cause is... do you like the thesis statement that Yvvonne said? If so, write that sentence at the end of your first paragraph. At the start of the 1st para, write an interesting "attention grabber" sentence. At the end of the first para, write the thesis statement.

For example: As a result of having an unfulfilling life, some people develop addictions, one of which is shopaholism.

Lets see that first paragraph when you get it written.

Kind regards,

Kevin

thank you! I'm still working on my essay. i have a question, what is credibility statement? i understand the meaning of credibility but how can it be a statement?

I don't know... I googled it and found this writing.colostate.edu/guides/speaking/infomod/pop8d.cfm

Could that be what it is? Establishing your qualifications as the speaker. Is there a particular text book you are using?
