Secondly, I would like to say that saving is something I also do.
So, this maybe a slightly pointless blog. However, so to speak, I think this is an important subject title that should be discussed.
Consumerism isn't necessarily a bad thing. It starts to become a bad thing when you don't know how to control it .
A large part of consumerism is branding. You guys know what I'm talking about; World wide ,well know brands such as: Apple, Tesco, Toys 'r' us, adobe, H & M, etc.
The list goes on and on!
We have to bear in mind that we control what we do and we cant blame the companies for sucking us into it via advertising or good deals (+amazing sales!).
We buy things we don't necessarily need to impress people we don't necessarily like or even know (or to just show off).
Consumerism is more like a trade . So in a sense, it isn't bad. People and business with a brand name try to expand so much nowadays and the businesses depend on their customers to buy the items in order to grow and develop new items and keep the economical flow going.
Imagine a world without money . We'd all be rich really because we'd all not think about giving each other a piece of paper worth a certain amount. We'd be giving each other something of a certain value we worked for not depending on others.
To be fair , consumerism has existed for many centuries; Also, trade is thought to be consumerism.
Work for your money and see what its like to receive a certain wage/amount. If you can afford what you need easily then for the things you want, just create a wishlist.
Exercise for you to do: Keep the things you really want on your wishlist and wait for about 3 months and see if you really still want them or not , if not then just take it off your wishlist :)
