Do you need to go shopping?

/

Do you know what the worst part is about being broke? The realization, upon entering any establishment that sells any sort of commodity, that you cannot afford to buy a thing.

I personally find when Iโ€™m running low on funds itโ€™s always when I have the most frequent urges to shop. It also seems to be the only time that I can ever find things that I actually want to buy. Itโ€™s like some evil Shopaholic Karma that bites you in the ass the second youโ€™ve gained a little bit of self -control.

If youโ€™re like me, then you can rationalize spending money. There have been times where Iโ€™ve seriously considered giving up groceries for a week to get my hands on new clothes. So if you ever need help convincing yourself that a new outfit, shoes or even a new gadget is necessary, feel free to check out this flowchart.

Youโ€™ll thank me, I swear.
