Marketing, Advertising, Shopping & Clutter
If we don't shop and bring stuff home we can't add to our clutter right?
Obviously, we can't stop shopping altogether as we have necessities and essential needs for living.
Shopping leads to clutter when we fall into the "On Sale" trap. When we buy because it is an on-sale deal vs a necessity or a need then the item eventually becomes clutter.
Studies show that buying something on a "Good Deal" can give the same feeling as getting high!!
Marketing and Advertising cost $240 billion a year in the united states.
Advertising companies create and manipulate a need because if we don't have that item then we are not enough, inadequate!
Or to obtain the social reward of being seen as a certain kind of person.
Because we are enadequate to show constrain on ourself.
Remember things don't add value to our life nor does it bring us happiness!!
