Hello.
It was a random thought that stumbled into my mind a few days ago. In the past, I used to find pleasure in filling up my room with random figures, merchs and other novelty items. After accumulating all of that and cluttering my study space, I realise that I was just impulse buying for that feeling of pleasure. Something that I had mistaken for happiness and also to alleviate boredom.
Nowadays, I put into more consideration what I bring into my life. I prefer functionality over anything. Though, if something does break and is unusable, I will replace it. I still buy notebooks and stationeries which I am fond about using. I am trying to pay off my student debt before the interest racks up when I do graduate the following year. Aside that, I do not spend as much as before which feels odd.
But, it's difficult to keep this mindset when your friends and family around you seem to spend money on items that they don't need. Rather, it's to show off to someone else that they are able to afford such item and so forth. It's especially difficult to tell them that you don't really want anything.
So, I ask this. What do you normally spend your time and money on? Do you get this strange feeling when you head to a shopping mall? The feeling that you have everything you need and you do not have a need to buy anything?
Thank you.
