If you let yourself turn to consumerism excessively, you’ll likely become indebted. This can breed short sightedness as you struggle to deal with your debt. Consumerism. Of course consumerism is a deadly sin of finance. We’ll be much better off financially if we turn our backs on consumerism.

I also find that setting goals makes a difference. We have been saving for our vacation to Asia since last year and we have been successful at this. Consumerism Commentary asks us if we are better off than our parents ? We have more stable careers, we have no debt (other than our mortgage), and we own a home. Congrats!!

The consumerism of the current financial climate drives us to acquire more and more ‘stuff’, whether we really need it or not. We need to learn that some things are worth waiting for, especially if it means we can avoid going into debt. Try and control ‘wants’ spending and you’ll have more for saving.
