Guess the number of chic items in the stores that are screaming out `Buy me, buy me'. How many people can really ignore the voices in their heads and move on. Or do they only do so when their wallets protest that it is time to move on. The temptation is too great to resist at times. We may end up buying things that we do not require or the things are all becoming `white elephants'.
Given the availability of plastic money, more often than not, people get into the vicious cycle of succumbing to their wants instead of needs. Indeed going by the number of malls and stores that are springing up, shopping is definitely a favourite pastime in Malaysia. There is no doubt that things must be bought at some point of time, however, it is the where, when and how we go about it that can make all the difference to our cashflow.
Should we therefore `shop till we drop .... but in this day and age, who doesn't?
When I visit those shops during sales, I always end up buying something that I do not need but because it is on sale, the temptation is there. So now I and my family will go shopping when we really need something. What you don't see you won't know and won't get hurt, keh keh keh
ReplyDeleteThe temptation is sometimes too great to resist. This is what we call shopping spree
