I hate going shopping at a mall. So exhausting. You couldn’t pay me enough to be there today. But I also am not into stuff. I can’t stand living burdened by all that garbage. I like ebay and thrift stores. The Dollar Store. I am not into keeping up with the Joneses. I have no debt.
Honestly if people applied the value of their time itself they would see these “bargains” are probably not worthwhile; I’m not wealthy, but I’d spend quite a bit of money to NOT be on those lines.
As it is, I get up very early to ensure I NEVER see many of those people when I shop for groceries; makes for a happier life.
