If you let yourself turn to consumerism excessively, you’ll likely become indebted. Consumerism. Of course consumerism is a deadly sin of finance. Consumerism stems from many places but can start from when we are young children if we are exposed to television and radio ads.

My main goal in writing Autonomy was to inform patients that they deserve more than the healthcare they are currently receiving. In all aspects of consumerism, an educated consumer is the best customer and healthcare is no different. That was when I knew I had to explain why this will be the future of medicine and Autonomy was born.

Avoid Consumerism. Surrounding yourself with people who have similar goals is a great way to save money because when you’re all in the same boat it’s easy to share tips to help one another out. The investment of tables, chairs and the like might be worth it when you consider the potential earnings.

I also find that setting goals makes a difference. Consumerism Commentary asks us if we are better off than our parents ? We wrote down a list of our current expenses, our current goals, and where we are at. Watson Inc. asks us What Keeps Us On Track Financially? I would have to say that Quicken really helps. You should try it.

The consumerism of the current financial climate drives us to acquire more and more ‘stuff’, whether we really need it or not. When you have a goal like this, it is easier to stay on track with saving. We are all guilty of making decisions that aren’t in our best interest; it’s just human nature, I guess.
