Think before you shop?

Submitted by bean9493 on October 4, 2007 - 6:21pm.

All my life, I took money for granted. That has changed for me...drastically. Not because I'm struggling, but because my eyes have been opened. I value a dollar more than ever before. I'm wondering how many people feel this way, or maybe at what stage are they at?

I've just simply realized that possessions are not nearly as important as I thought, or as anyone does. Life is so short. We are all worried about what label we have on our clothes, what the new gadget is out there, how full our closet is? I believe these obsessions are actually symptoms of a greater issue. A greater issue within ourselves and our society.
