” Born to shop. Forced to work. ”
Hey my Strawberry today we’re going to talk about something that concerns the majority of people:
Compulsive buying !! Aka Shopaholic.
In my family, my reputation as a compulsive buyer has followed me for decades.
Literally my mother is always worried about my wallet.
But that was before, the new me knows how to measure his expenses.
It was really hard to get there because for me shopping is therapy.
Literally every time I feel bad buying something helps me feel a little better
(don’t judge me each his way of feeling better ! )
The first time I saw the movie “Confessions of at Shopaholic” I was like, you understand me, I understand you, We understand each other.
But shopping addiction is like all addictions, not good at all.
So today we’re going to work together on this, with some advice that I really would have liked to hear earlier.
First think about whether you will keep the product in the long term, whether you will wear it in 1 year or even 2 months.
Then ask yourself if you want the products because it’s trendy or because you really like it ( never buy a product just for the trend, trends go away as fast as they come and you will end up with an overpriced item that you do not like. )
It is very important to follow our purchases with our budget.
NEVER live beyond its means !
The best thing is to work to pay for our luxury tastes but not to go into stupid debt.
Especially do not feel inferior if you do not have very expensive shoes like your other.
I felt sad not to have the latest Nike shoes when I was younger.
Kids can be so mean, they mocked for any reason even not having branded shoes is a reason.
Now I find it so ridiculous,I mean MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS !
( The subjects of the bullies will be for another article)
Don’t let people make you think you’re less stylish without branded clothes.
It seems logical but when you are young it is not easy.
Always keep money for important things but also to please you (it will be your reward for the work you have done)
Everything is a matter of balance as long as we enjoy ourselves by remaining reasonable we will not find ourselves without money at the end of the month.
I could tell you so many other things but these are the most important things to remember.
I hope it will help.
See you next week. ❤️
