Girls trust their instincts ─ so do I when I go shopping.
I seldom equip myself with a list of things I need to buy. I just have faith in my gut feeling. When Mom reminds me to go and get a list for myself, impatience abruptly comes into sight. I am now a working professional, so why make a fuss over my liberty to choose on how to spend my resources? Therefore, I grab whatever I feel like buying and pile those up in the shopping cart. Believing that every stuff will suffice my need, I don’t feel the guilt of getting too much of it until I reach home ─ most often than not, there are still toiletries stuck that would last for a month and again another stock is stored; food supply in the refrigerator is releplenished too early too soon, I could have bought later when reserves are near to being fully utilized. Because of too much excitement in buying, some items expire unnecessarily. It’s as if I bought a new stock and dispose the old-but-still-usable one.
This is a very unwise lifestyle I know and I’m honestly trying to fix this personal problem. Not only that I buy them in a very untimely way, I also was living in plain discontent. Earning money doesn’t warrant anyone to spend recklessly as if gold can be found everywhere. It’s a fruit of hard work so I supposed to be responsible enough with whatever I expend.
