I used to be so into the material things before, especially noong teens pa ako.
Mainggitin sa iba, kung ano meron ang classmate ko na bago o maganda, naiingit ako at gusto na magkaroon din ng kaparehas na ganun: bag, cellphone, notebook, pink pen.
May nararamdaman ako sa loob ko na sobrang pagkagusto sa kung ano ang mga nauuso, kelangan meron ako. Jealousy and greed for stuff used to envelope me for a long time.
I used to like strolling and going to the mall and window shop kahit wala ako masyadong pera. Feeling ko mall is a paradise, a cinderella's world of wonders. I take the whole day spending my little money buying nonsense items I didn't have urgent need. Noong mga teens and early 20s ako, ang dami kong naipon na kung anu-anong shoes or clothes na minsan ko lang din naman isuot ang karamihan.
But when I worked in the mall for over four years in Dubai. Sa umpisa, I was so exhilarated and thought it was a dream come true. I breathe and live mall, but after a year, sobra ang pagkasawa ko, dahil araw-araw I have to be in a mall, I dreaded it. I hated it.
Well, I think we all passed that phase in our life. Or maybe ikaw hindi pa, maybe until now you are so into trying your best into buying and getting the latest gadget or shoes or watch. Kahit you will get it from credit, at mabaon sa utang. But good thing, I have passed that phase in my life.
I am just so glad now that it is over. Kahit nagpipista ang mata ko whenever I pass a mall now, I now have self- control and no longer shop impulsively. I simply enjoy looking at new stuff but no sudden urge to buy, but if ever I need to think about it not just 10 times but 20 times kung bibilhin ko talaga siya.
I have simplified my closet, and just keep some clothes I know I'm going to be wearing a lot and classics and have know how to mix and match.
I am more excited in keeping my money for my stock investment. I am more happy to be free from credit card debt and save my cash to multiply it through bonds or mutual funds.
Dahil I know, inflation ang kalaban nating lahat. Five years ago ang ChickenJoy was 65 pesos, nang dumating ako recently I just found out it is now 140 pesos. I should tighten my belt and keep my cash to multiply and let it grow for my future retirement.
Yeah, a simple delayed gratification is what I need, and you might be needing as well too.
