Do we need it ? (Love of material items)
Honestly, think to yourself, Do we need it ? Don’t get me wrong I would love money, clothes and all the finer things in life, but I don’t want it all at the same time. There is this thing called hard work and the finer things will come in time with a little hard work. America and the world in general loves the labels and the top shelve items. That’s fine, get it if you can, just don’t go overboard and spend your rent money on some Jordan’s that you HAD to have, or a Gucci purse that is the new hot thing, and now you can’t pay your water or light bill. Treat yourself with the nice things in life when you have time to obtain it.
O yeah, don’t always go for the top number one brand, label etc. You can still look good with some Puma’s or Adidas, or whatnot. If you feel the impulse to buy shoes which cost $150 or more have at it hoss, but don’t come to me when you don’t have any grocery money so that you or your children for that matter can’t eat.
To get to the main point, buy the things you need. It is perfectly fine to treat yourself every once in a while and purchase a pair of shoes or a new coat that is needed. Don’t splurge on things if you know you don’t have the money. But then again if you have a steady job and you can sustain some type of income, do as you choose. All I want to say is that, don’t become engulfed in materialistic things. Be more than what your shirt or shoes say, be yourself, we all know you’re able, think and live beyond the label.
Sincerely, Justin
