Hey Alex! So listen, I have a problem. I was out shopping yesterday night and found out I had no money left on my card! I realized that I'm too careless about what I buy and don't think things through enough. What do you think i should do?
Hey Robert, Huh, that is a problem. I think I can help you though. Lets talk about it inside.
So, you said you have a little bit of a spending problem. Here are a few tips I think can help. For starters, every time before you're about to buy something, reflect for a moment. Ask yourself if you really need what you're buying, or if you just want it.
Wow... I never really thought of that. Thanks for the idea! I'll use that from now on. Any other tips you have?
Also, if you do buy something, try buying the product from a lesser known brand. This saves you money but still presents the same thing. I know you like Nike shoes, for example. Maybe next time, buy shoes from a store like puma to save you money. They're still nice, but cost half the price. Just remember, be a smart shopper. Question what you're buying, know the difference between a want and a need, and go for lesser known brands, You do all of this, and you'll save money and be a more responsible consumers.
Wow! Thanks! I feel like those tips will really help me. I'll also try going on a budget to help me save a little money. Thanks for all your help, Alex!
