This disease is called "materialism" and I am so ashamed that I caught this. Tried many times to cure myself by going to ban island, but sure enough when my disposable income increase, I went straight to crazy shopping mode. In 2017, I spent over 10K on designer bags. The good thing was that I did pretty well on selling old bags I didn't use anymore and I babied my bags, so I usually got pretty good money to fund new bags. Still, it was crazy thinking about it. How did it go that bad?
I was a person who didn't care much about appearance and used to be dressing up in jeans & t-shirts, played sports with the boys and never put on makeup. I think the makeup part is still true until today, but then I started to get into luxury goods few years ago and became obsessed. I loved learning about different designers, leather, color and even enjoyed watching fashion bloggers review on luxury.
Many times, I convinced myself that these are investment, especially the classic ones, but I can't even wear these bags without being paranoid. So, why did I buy expensive bags that I won't even use?
I am continuously looking for a cure and to spend more $ on travel and intangible goods. Sometimes it worked, but then I couldn't help myself when I see good deals. Even worse, I don't think that these goods gave me any happiness. It's just a need that I need to fulfill. Am I crazy?
