Wheel Of Fortune

More than a week ago as i was ransacking through my old magazines particularly for the back issue of Marie Claire, whose cover is Sarah Jessica Parker - pre mole removal, hihi, i stumbled again to a certain article called - Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. And let me quote the portion of it:

Wealth and luxury mean different things to different people. It isn't the very wealthy whose spending gets hit, but the so-called aspirational shoppers-- consumers who "trade up" by purchasing luxury goods when they feel they have the money to spend. A comment on a blog on the Wall Street Journal in January 2008 emphasizes this point: "I suspect a very large portion of luxury item spending is not done by the rich, but by the middle class. I hope those people do reduce spending and start saving. The rich will sail through the current economic situation (these are not storms). Luxury spending is no indicator at all of the attitudes of the rich."

Nouveau riche, take note.

Damn! Am just a thrift shopper, saving a lot and am still POOR??!!

Cause two days ago my tweetmateibyang tweeted this - "the bad thing about these fashion sites/blogs is that they make you want to shop. not a motivator to save money." So i asked her, what she feels about my blog, she did not reply so I don't know. hihihi. Well she was right. Totally agree. Two new shoes every week, countless new bags, on-line shopping every day, "new things". And honestly speaking looking through these high-end blogs makes me feel so POOR. aaaawwww. hihihhi. But seriously I love these blogs. They inspire me to be more creative and resourceful. For me they are my magazine, I buy the magazine but i don't buy everything inside it right?

But it's just a little dangerous for those young people, especially the teens, looking up to them, lurking for their new acquired ebay finds and freshly delivered shoes, thinking that life is all about shopping. Of course there's more to life than shopping, especially when you have a family, paying the rent and bills, a mortgage every month, a kid to send to school and many countless more that you wish you'd never have to grow up.

Well when it comes to fashion blog, I call it like a see it and if I don’t like It I don’t read it. End of story. So look on the left side of this blog, all these ladies inspire me. They make me dream of someday ill buy three shoes a day without hurting my bank account even a bit.

I wish you all a great weekend.
