T=E=A=S=E Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 all i do is work to. i wake up, goto work, eat lunch, work some more, come home, get on the computer and talk to people on aim, 12oz, and check email and look at porn, then repeat. and i buy way to much shit, from movies, to other fancy things i dont absolutely need but are nice things to have.

MOOGLE? Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 its taken me a long time to try and avoid the act of unhealthy consumerism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I think it's a simple thing to beat. Before you buy ANYTHING.... wait untill your next paycheck. If you still want it then, then it's cool to buy because you had time to consider if you actually need/want it or if you got tricked. The 'impulse purchase' is the biggest flaw with consumerism. Oh sure I NEED to get something I just learned out a second ago. How could I ever live without something I didnt know existed untill now?

Abracadabra Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 i suck at being a consumer. i go out to buy stuff, and 9 times out of ten come home with nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekro Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I'm just a super tight fisted jew who hates spending his money. I'll see something, ogle it for a while, find the very lowest price on the planet, then decide I'd rather not spend the cash in the first place. And my parents raised me on adbusters. That helps put things in perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InDY_500 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Being a consumers sucks ass, spending money that I need to get back and forth from school makes everything suck even worse.... I go out intending on buying one thing and end up spending more than I can.... Then the bills ass up and I get kicked in the ass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
