Consumerism: The hidden catalyst to poverty.

Today was doing some shopping at a supermarket,the place was really busy. There was a huge line and i noticed most of the things people be buying are really not necessities to life. Stuff such as cakes,juices,yoghurt ,wigs etc made the bulk of peoples shopping baskets. It dawned on me that people go broke buying shit that they really can do without. Shit that ultimately affectes your health negatively in the long term and in that moment i decided to challenge myself,for the next week i will only purchase goods that are absolutely necessary for life. I will then calculate how much i spent the entire week. Like for real i will keep a note of everything i buy from tommorow till the next sunday. Will share results here because i know nobody cares about it.

You did your 'survey' at the absolutely wrong time of the year.

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 na shanga what took him to the supermarket,to see what others have bought or you do your business and get out, nguvu ya kuangalia trolleys za watu ndo sikuangi nazo, it's non of my concern, let people spend as they wish, you've got literally less than 40 years to spend on this earth, half of which you'll be sleeping,the other 3/4 either behind a desk,counter or workshop ya mhindi, spend the rest wisely sio kuangalia trolleys za watu.
