RE: Stop Buying Stuff You DON'T Need!
This reminds me about a famous quote, something about people buying things they don't need, with money they don't have, to impress people they don't like.
One family member I know can be perfectly described with the above message. She came from poverty though, which could explain her habits. Some examples:
- Her refrigerator must always be full, even if the food expires or gets spoiled.
- She buys something just because it's on sale, even when she or anyone in the family does not need it.
- She bought a Mercedes-Benz during her working years as a salesperson, probably to compete with her coworkers. Now that she's retired, she has difficulty paying for maintenance as the car ages.
I'm thankful I did not get into this habit myself... and I live a happier life too.
