Consumerism and the American Lifestyle.
Are you working to buy things you don’t need?
Have you ever felt suffocated by clutter?
I used to think hoarding was just a TV show until my recent Christmas dinner experience.
I pulled up to the house and was greeted by a neatly manicured lawn and extravagant Christmas decor.
Stunning!
Then, suddenly, I found myself walking through walls of boxes stacked to the ceiling. I could barely find space to breathe at the dinner table, and then I realized the actual cost of purchasing things we didn’t need.
Silently, I was panicking.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of buying things just because they’re on sale. Maybe it is because we convinced ourselves that a deal is too good to pass up.
But are these purchases truly necessary?
My dinner host has always complained about bills, yet has shoes in shopping bags from three years ago.
And was proud to show them off.
Is the temporary satisfaction of buying something really worth sacrificing your peace of mind?
Money problems are primarily because of your choices.
We choose to overspend.
It is time to be more mindful of what you truly need.
It is time to burn the clutter.
Ignore those juicy email deals and find another way.
You can reduce your environmental footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future based on your choices.
Be encouraged, be inspired!
