My cousin came for a visit last weekend. She was carrying so many shopping bags with her. I knew she haven’t gave up her shopping spree addiction. There was a time when she had been spending too much that most of her credit cards companies froze her account. When I asked what happed to her credit cards, she just laughed. She informed me that after paying all her debt with them, she canceled all her cards. She minimized shopping especially for things that she doesn’t need. That way she minimize buying things because she has now a limited means.
Then, I asked her about the things she is carrying and that did she had another shopping spree again. She again laughed and she said she didn’t have a shopping spree, she just bought some gifts for the kids and for my mom and dad a fish feeders for their aquarium. I told her I was glad to know she overcome her shopping addiction. She told me she has not yet totally over it but she is trying to discipline herself in the best way that she can.
Well, I hoped she could achieve the goals she set. And that in the end, she would realize that non of the materials things she craved for that matters. Anyway as they say you can not bring those when you die and so why not enjoy life in the most simplest way. The main point is we don’t have enough money but we have enough love, happiness and truthfulness in our everyday life.
