What are we spending for?
Irrespective of salary scales we have all indulged in splurging.
Coffee shops that used to be hang-outs for the rich are now frequented by people from all backgrounds. These shops are common place and no longer hold the ‘exclusive’ charm, they offer pretty ordinary fare (stuff that definitely does not hit senses as well as a hot cup of filter coffee does) yet they charge exorbitant amounts.
We go to the malls spend in five figures on ridiculously expensive clothing for that ‘super dhamaka 50% off’. Buy gold despite the 15K point that it now touches.
Rush into EMI schemes to own a house worth 30 lakhs, in the bargain paying 45 lakhs. Products that warn to ‘come at a price’ are bought with the hope of gaining age defying beauty. The 400/- rupee buffet passes for a deal.
What are we paying for? The experience suddenly doesn’t seem worth it, all of it is very regular fare …
Just the thing the guy on the next table is sipping, Just the thing about a dozen people in office wear, Just another piece of jewel you will never use again, Just another meal away from home.
Just a thought …
