From new phones to the latest laptop released, technology continues to push out an arsenal of products for their consumers. Is it time for us impulse buyers to really stop and just enjoy what we have as of late? Don’t get me wrong, I like to have the latest and greatest in items, but I’m still running on a Blackberry Curve. I guess my personal addictions have come to a stop or pause due to the economic crisis at hand.
I’m still fairly young, but I have never seen anything like this. It just dawned on me that this recession is really serious. I remember learning about the Great Depression and a bunch of other history lessons in my U.S. History classes, but I never saw myself going through a recession. Perhaps I was ignorant of anything that happened before this recession, but all I know is that I FEEL IT. From pay cuts to budget cuts to cut down on consumption, I see it first hand.
So as I write this, I know I blog about the randomness of gadgets, cars, videos, but I truly urge people to consume wisely, save wealthy, and be smart. Just determine the difference of “needs vs. wants” and it will show you what really is meaningful. If you have the money to spare, by all means do as you please, but if you are on a budget and you still want the latest gadget, wait until we are ouf of this hell hole we call a recession….or get a second job, third job, do what you need!
