In a time of struggle and strife, I wounder, what is the best next buy? Are we, now in the slow upswing of our recent recession, looking for the better buy, or greater still, not buying unless absolutely necessary?
The other day I strayed into a shop, of sorts, and sniffed about for that 'must have' item. In my ventures, I located a fascinating jacket with the most charming details. I said to myself, before I 'have to have it', I'd like to know how much my needs might be costing me. To my dismay, the cost was in the ballpark of $950. Not too too bad for a fine garment, but a jacket of this caliber and workmanship, wasn't deserving such a austere price tag.
Though my viewpoint may have been overshadowed by my lack of disposable fashion funds, I decreed then and there that this Need Vs. Want idiom should take hold; I found myself in the act of futility...it was helpless to contest reason. Perhaps next time fashion will prevail, but for now, for me, I resolve on knowing what I need is more pressing than my whimsical wants.
