I find it strange how people choose to spend their money. Whether they were rich or average, people almost always seem to aim for the things they want vs. the things they need.
There are many ongoing studies on this certain topic, considering that it amazes many. Money is being spent on items that are useless or pointless. People are spending their money on things that cost hundreds or thousands, that can be found elsewhere with a few cons, for a MUCH cheaper price. The thing is, the business out there take advantage of the fact that people are so interested in luxury, and they launch high priced products and tempt the buyers to purchase them.
Lets take the fashion industry as an example. I mean okay I get the fact that there are big fashion designers, and that people, especially women, love the feeling they get when they wear these big names. I mean come on, who doesn’t like brands and luxury? Some of the things are worth it, because they’re different or something, but what about those simple, UGLY dresses you find, with a cost of 2000 kd? What about shoes, Louboutins perhaps, my personal favorite. The shoes are gorgeous there, I mean its like heaven on Earth. But come to think of it, what makes them so expensive? Is it really necessary? Why buy something that costs hundreds, when you can find it somewhere else for much cheaper, and you can use the rest of the money for something useful. I bought a pair of Louboutins a while ago, then, while shopping in Avenues, I ran into the EXACT same shoe in Nine West for only 34 kd! Another shoes example would be the Swarovski covered Reebok shoes! With a price of 1035$..is that necessary? What’s the use of your casual shoe being covered in crystals! Its not even pretty.
