Here is another new piece of technology designed for those of us who can't help overspending. Arduino, an Australian company, owner of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.creditcardfinder.com.au\/\">Creditcardfinder\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.creditcardfinder.com.au\/\">website,\u00a0<\/a>developed a high-tech <a title=\"Head Over Handbags: Our 2014 arm candy picks!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/head-over-handbags\/\">handbag<\/a> aimed at helping you control your <a title=\"Asia Fashion Collection SS14 at Robinsons, Singapore\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/asia-fashion-collection-preview-ss14-robinsons\/\">shopping<\/a> <a title=\"Why is it so good to scratch?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/why-its-so-good-to-scratch\/\">addiction<\/a>. \u00a0 <strong>How does it work?<\/strong> The <strong>iBag<\/strong> looks like any women's <a title=\"Embossed croc Furla Candy bag\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/embossed-croc-furla-candy-bag\/\">handbag<\/a>, but it has built-in electronic components such as a radio sensor, a GPS tracker and LED lights. It uses radio frequency identification technology to monitor your credit card transactions. This smart handbag can be programmed to stop you from making a purchase by locking itself up automatically during the times of the days when you are most likely vulnerable to spend. Equipped with a GPS chip and LED lights, the bag lights up with a warning signal as soon as you enter your favourite <a title=\"\u2018Printemps Louvre\u2019 in Paris: A shopping haven for bags, jewellery, cosmetics and more\u2026\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/spring-louvre-in-paris-paradise-bags-jewelry-watches-and-cosmetics\/\">shopping zone<\/a>. If you decide to ignore it and keep shopping, it will send text messages to your nominated \"responsible other\" (boyfriend, husband, friend or parent) to let them know you have had a spending relapse. Interested? You can register to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.creditcardfinder.com.au\/ibag\">pre-order an iBag on the website<\/a> for $199. The company says if there is enough interest, they will go into production.
