Are You A Consumer W*H*O*R*E*?

It blocked out (w/h/o/r/e) so I had to write it that way, funny.

Anyway, Ever since I was about 20 I've tried to consume less useless shit. Realizing I don't need it to survive and I should spend my money only on things that are really useful.

You really don't need much. I mean whats the point of going in debt , to impress people you don't even like ya know?

I understand consuming is everywhere in your face all the time, it can be hard and it's not easy and we do live in a society where money is the highest value. I guess I just see it as a very fleeting value longterm.

What about you?

I love to spend money. I go through stages where all I want are jordans or hats or hair or makeup. I like thrift store shopping.

I figure people spend their money on different things. Like, I dont get electronics so I dont spend money there. But some people always have the latest phone. Some put their money into cars.

On most things I'm a real hard ass about money, never spending a dime I don't absolutely have to. Driven the same vehicle for almost ten years, don't particularly care if my phone is upgraded or not, spending ten minutes scraping the bottom of the jelly jar to make sure I got it all, etc.

But I cannot be trusted to walk out of a department store without buying something.

I'm a terrible clothes whore. Instead of drugs and alcohol I have a shoe problem lol.

I'm pretty stubborn about money unless its on food. Taurus mars problem? 😛
I like to buy fresh foods to make all my meals and that can become somewhat costly. I need the 3 different kinds of tomatoes for my marinara sauces and fresh garlic. I want the fresh herbs and organic fruits. I buy my meats and eggs from a local farm or my local, organic grocers. If I could make everything from scrath, I would. I spend so much damn money on this ish.

Other than food, I really don't care if my shoes, shirts or pants are name brand. If it looks nice and happens to be a 5 dollar shirt, I'll get it. You will never see me buying a article of clothing that is over 30 bucks, EVER. 😛

Now that I think of it though, I will be a little bit more spendthrift on things for the home. Like decor or cookware.

ive found that you guys are great savers, would u agree?

I am the biggest one I know

I cut bacl last month and will do so again this month

it just got ridiculous

thank god I have no debt because of it.

Imo credit only for home, everything else cash

Credit is the devil.

I agree 100% !

I've never owned a credit card and I live with my mom and don't drive I have no need to be obsessed with something which I can't take to heaven. I can say I would love to by this that and the other but it isn't worth it when something important happens and you need p for that.

Material goods only enhance my inner power and soul.

I'm a brand whore. Only for brands that build lifetime things. Choose better, buy less type of thing. Not at all a consumerist.

Nah, that's just smart. 😉

Eh, it's always going to be something. 😛
