Shopping is addictive
Get a job after college or get a part-time job while you are still in school. Sure, you will have to pay for necessities such as rent and flat fees, but you will always have spending money left over. I am sure you are addicted to something or have an eye for nice things that make you happy. Online games for men, cosmetics and clothes for women. Everyone collects what they like. But it\’s not that there\’s anything wrong with either. Everyone wants to please themselves with nice things. It\’s not against anything, and in today\’s fast-paced world, it\’s terribly important to our psyche. But let us consider how long such things will last and whether we really need them.
Buy when you run out
For example, cosmetics. Don\’t collect them like pokemon. Cosmetics have expiration dates, and if you have too many, you won\’t have time to use them up, which could be the same as throwing paper money out the window. So try to buy these necessities only when you actually use them up. By not hoarding, we are doing the environment and our wallets a favor. Shopping may make us happy, but with the money we save we can also buy more expensive, better quality items, for example.
Furniture in the home is much more attractive than a showcase of dusty stuff. This is, of course, also true for clothes: if you shop at thrift stores, you are doing nothing but good for the environment. You are also not supporting a conglomerate that sews clothes in questionable environments. You give clothes a second chance and wear them until they tear. The earth will thank you for that. Let\’s eliminate unnecessary items that overwhelm us and surround ourselves with things that are actually necessary, beautiful to look at, and practical.
