"Your
body will be around a lot longer than that expensive handbag. Invest in yourself."
Who
knows this saying and also knows what it means? For me, this is one of my life
mottos. I have to say that I'm not the type of a girl who shops without
thinking and just buys everything she likes. I really study the pros and cons
at almost every clothes purchase. Why? Because I know, if I buy
inconsiderately, there will not be much money left for the really important
things like food. And I spend A LOT on food. Not because I'm a glutton, but
rather because it is important for me to buy high-quality, biological and
healthy food, which is often (not always) a little bit more expensive than e.g.
a run-of-the-mill bread. I'm often confronted with people asking me: "Why
do you spend your money on whole grain bread, which costs almost twice as much
as 'normal' bread? It tastes the same.“ First of all, it doesn't taste the
same. If you've ever tried a good whole grain bread in comparison to normal
bread from the supermarket, you can't tell me that there is no difference in
taste.
However,
what I’m trying to say is, we're often not able to realize what our real needs
and wants are.
