I think of cost in terms of hours.

Before I make a purchase, I consider many things; how often I will use it, if it is something I can save throughout the years, if it will contribute to my productiveness and lastly and almost most importantly, how many hours it took for me to make the money that I will be spending.

I consider myself a hard-working young adult. I contribute to society by selling products (specifically shoes), thus stimulating the economy. I feel good about my position. I feel great about my pay-checks. I feel even better about my valuables; the things I bought using this hard-earned money.

This weekend, I must’ve spent a grand. I can honestly say that I do not have a shopping problem, I actually detest shopping. But I must say I had the most successful shopping spree ever. I got a majority of my winter clothes that I can wear to work and school, and most excitingly, AN ELECTRONIC DRUM SET. I’ve been wanting one for years and so I went to Sam Ash and just bought one. I don’t feel bad about spending all my money, I feel like it’s hard-earned money, well-spent.

The box reads: “Stop Dreaming, Start Drumming.” That’s exactly what I plan to do!
