Everything in our society today is based on the idea that consumption should be made as easy as possible…”Money makes the world go round”. We take on loans, credit cards, store cards, shop till you drop offers abroad, online shopping, and mobile shopping. The message seems to be that we become happy by buying, buying and more buying. Sometimes, we even buy just for the sake of consuming. Keep up appearances with the Jones’s, the Johnson’s and the nosy friends and neighbours who love to show off too. Buying is now leisure and a way to past time too.
Many are realizing that the power of consumption is stopping us from finding true and sincere happiness; and that shopping often works as a substitute for something we’re all missing in our life.
Is this now the case?

O no! now i'm thinking twice about those amazing boots in topshop, my jacket in zara, french connection.....blah blah blah but even though all these things will make me walk down the street thinking i'm the poor man's Naomi campbell i thankfully am aware that the buzz you get when they electronically zap all your money is short lived and there is a bigger picture which only those, in my opinion who have God truly understand.
I'm also thinking i should just go to bed rather than waiting to go onto internet banking and see my wages in my account, so i can spend them doubly fast.
