Needs is defined as a thing that is required.
Can you guess which picture is a want or need?
The picture to the left is the beautiful Alexander Wang Rocco Bag which I have seen everywhere and want so desperately! I mean how could you not want to walk into town with this gorgeous bag on your arm. I'm pretty sure people would have to stop and stare.
The picture on the right is the most essential thing that we need to survive: Water. Okay so what am I getting at with these two pictures? Because I have been bored A LOT during this endless summer vacation (it finally ends in a week yay!), one of my favorite pastime activities is going shopping or just going to browse around different stores. I know there is nothing wrong with just looking around at different things that you think you need. But if you start to compulsively shop...well then theres a problem (haven't done that). I found myself getting more and more materialistic and just wanting to have all the latest things. I forced myself to snap back into reality.
Yes, it's okay to splurge once in awhile but if you do it quite frequently, then you need to just sit down and think to yourself "Is this really making me happy?" "Will it be better for me in the long run to keep spending money?" Just taking a few moments to think about these things will definitely help not break your wallet in the long run!
As long as you are focused on saving your money and only going shopping once in a while, everything will be good! I'm also working on keeping these tips in mind myself. So this is a journey we can all do together! So yes I am Sam and I like going shopping and fashion and beauty, but I also like preparing myself for the future and working hard to make sure I will be financially secure.
See you all soon!
