Am I materialistic?

Am I materialistic? Have you asked this question before?

I admit that I was materialistic. I by things just because they are attractive even if I do not need them. I rush in buying things just because they are cute or trendy. I do not care how much it will cost or if in really need them. Who cares if it is useless, as long as it is cute. I can bring it to school and brag about how pretty it is. Oh! there is a new model phone, I do not care how much it is but I will buy it. I will buy it just because it’s new. So, what if it expensive and I still have a phone with the same feature. So what, it’s my parents money anyway and It is not me who is working.  So what, I will just use the money of the bank through my credit card. It’s okay if the bank will charge me double than the actual price of what I bought.

I do not care if the thing I bought will just rot in my closet or will get stolen anytime – as long as it is pretty and trendy. Who cares about buying the things you need only. Life is too short so I will get everything I want. I do not care about me having a peace of mind or being debt-free. Those are lies anyway. Who cares if I become homeless with no one around. As long as I have these material things I am okay.

Why should I care if..

I have no money to buy food?

I have nothing to feed my family, especially my children.

I have no confidence in my self and just rely on the things I own

I have no savings and die old and poor

I starve

 

Why d I have to control myself from buying things that I do not need? Why Do I have to save money for myself. Why do i have to be contented on things that  I have. So what If the only happiness I have is from buying things. So what if I will never be truly happy.

So what if

So what if

I m materialistic?
