Well, everyone has a material self within as a response for survival and also for pleasure. It is composed of body, clothes, immediate family, and home that created a great impact in ourselves. The more we invest ourselves in these things, the more they will define us. Just as buying things. Sometimes we tend to buy a lot even if it's no longer necessary while others try hard to buy those wants even though they are out of pockets anymore.

Well, there's no wrong in buying those things you really love because you deserve them most especially when you've been through a bumpy road just to achieve such. Yet if you can't afford for the meantime, PLEASE, don't force yourself since you'll always have the time to buy that. What's even amazing is that you can get them on a lower price when time comes. Would just take a longer time nga lang hehe.

The main features and characters are a culture of consumption, the culture of market society, universal and impersonal, identifies freedom with private choices and life, consumer needs are insatiable and unlimited, and lastly privileged medium for building personal identity and status.

As we consume everyday, others also produce millions of products. They are all eye catching and manipulate you to buy more over and over again. When some buy items, they don't pay attention to how much they cost specifically teenagers as long as it is preferable. Then? They would buy it right away. Sometimes it took them time to realize that several of those items are not really worth buying. Thus, we must always discipline ourselves because life also don't just revolve with the material things. Consumerism restricts our sensitive choices and lives. Would you just let it ruin your life that easily?

POWERFUL TIPS

Ignore Advertisements

Advertisements are tempting that's why always try to encourage yourself to ignore them. These have been mostly of the reasons why people always long for buying unnecessary stuffs. Well, not all of the advertisements we see online are realistic. Obviously, they're making their products exaggeratingly excellent when in person, some are a complete opposite of what were advertised.

Evaluate Consumerism

Assess the causes consumerism can create in your life. This way, you are able to identify the bad ones and can encourage yourself to refrain from buying too much.

Focus On What Matters

Bring up things that exactly matters as you continue life. Think about it. Then think of effective ways how are you going to live with them.

Live Your Life

Do not ever see yourself as how others wanted them to see you specifically the toxic ones. You own your life. Stop basing how you live with the ways that are not yours, positively. Strive hard.

The passion we feel on buying things becomes a huge force in our lives, causing us to make some poor judgments. Living life to the fullest is all about making good wonderful memories for yourself and others. Never ever mind the price tag because one of the most wonderful things in life are those that are priceless.
