Mrs Dee's Corner -Expensive Luxury Items Some People Buy Without Blinking An Eyelid

 Most persons have that one that thing that they are willing to spend a large chunk of their earnings or savings on and it's not just a one-off thing, it's something that they constantly indulge in and the 'high' they get from purchasing these items is enough to compensate for the huge amount spent. 

While some are phone and electronic gadgets freaks, subscribing to the websites of popular brands to be updated on their latest models and products and even go ahead to purchase them, others  derive immense pleasure and satisfaction from going on a spending spree when it comes to designer perfumes, bags, shoes, wigs, clothes, time pieces and even home appliances.

It's like an addiction and the only way to scratch the itch is to splurge on the luxury items of their interest. And just like any hard substance, those controlled by these compulsive buying get their satisfaction from just watching the number of items they have been able to accumulate.

I have a big aunty who was unable to save any tangible amount of money after many years of working because her addictions were on expensive shoes and bags. She had them in abundance and even bought some on credit with the promise to pay in installments.

When she realized that she was yet to have strong investments in lands, properties and stocks, she had to sit down, reevaluate and drastically cut off on her bad spending habits.

I've also heard of a distant  family member who changes her home appliances annually. From the cooking pots and pans, to the TV, fridge, blender and furniture.

Once she hears that the latest products have some amazing features like pots that are healthier for cooking and the latest blending machine that  can blend the hardest grains and nuts in the shortest minutes possible, she wouldn't rest till they are in her kitchen.

Once in a while , extravagant spendings are necessary to show that it shouldn't be 'all work and no play' . Sometimes 'Jack'  needs to enjoy what's been worked for. But when it becomes obsessive, then it's something to be worried about.

One cannot spend what one does not have abeg...Everyone is not tuned the same way..some people dont care about investments,I mean why invest when you wont live forever?Some of these investments are the reason some households begin to fight each other once the owner passes....
