OVERCONSUMPTION

We live in a world filled with empty consumeristic promises.
  • To get the girl, buy this cologne.
  • To be the life of the party, get this television.
  • To impress your friends, buy this watch.
  • To turn heads, drive this car.
  • To raise a better family, buy this bigger house.


But what if I don’t?”, forces us to recognize and articulate it.
For example:
If you don’t buy that large screen television, how much debt could you pay off?
If you don’t buy the bigger house, how much more money would you have to travel?
If you don’t go clothes-shopping today, how could you build up an emergency fund?
If you don’t make this purchase on Amazon, what good could you accomplish in the world with the money instead?
