It’s been months since GladyGirl bought new clothes, shoes, bags and other stuff. I’ve been wondering too why I haven’t bought new things for myself since I went her in Metropolis. Maybe because I’m just too lazy to go out once I’m inside the house, I just watched DVD’s on weekends, or maybe I just don’t feel like going to the mall or go shopping. But these past weeks, deep inside of me I want to buy new clothes or things for myself. New pants maybe or a blouse and of course heels! I missed wearing my heels since I left all of them at our house. A red one maybe, lol!

Although I’m saving money I guess buying once in a while is not that bad after all. Money can't buy happiness, but it can sometimes buy stuff that makes you happy. Before you fork over your hard-earned cash for a purchase, determine whether you're investing in something that will truly add joy and utility to your life. Ask yourself:


1. Is this something I will use at least once a week? Will it be useful for at least a year?

2. Will this thing make me smile at least 10 times? Will it contribute to lasting memories?

3. Have I recently seen an ad for this item or experience? If so, am I secretly kidding myself that it will make me as skinny and giddy as the actress in said ad?

4. What am I willing to give up for this purchase? Would I be willing to eat ramen noodles for a week or give up my premium movie channel to finance it?

5. Can I wait until this goes on sale to buy it? Or at least 24 hours? (Hint: The answer to this one is always yes!)
