There was a lot of sale on cereal today and so I decided to buy some. But a funny thing was cereal is supposed to be a breakfast dish usually. However, I was just buying it as a snack if I ever felt like munching om something crunchy. It seemed better and arguably healthier than a bag of potato chips as an example. It brings up the topic on how when it comes to spending money do you find yourself going against intended uses for certain products as long as it works for certain purposes?
From my personal experience, people who often had issues with financial management would think that is so weird as they don’t see anyone else doing that and nor would they ever think of doing so. But for people who are normally savvy with their money it seems perfectly normal even if they don’t do it themselves. Is there a correlation in terms of being open minded in this way and managing money wisely?
This would imply there is. I think what this teaches in relations to financial management is being able to see something for what it is while allowing yourself to make decision that’s best for you regardless of what everyone wants you to do with it. This can relate to buying expensive items where instead of just going by what marketing wants you to believe utilizing your own critical thinking and getting what works at the best value goes a long way.
That doesn’t mean one dimensional thinking such as the cheapest option is the best. Wearing say a shirt is probably better idea than walking outside with a bunch of towels that were on sale wrapped up around you for an everyday wear. Being able to think for yourself is the ultimate goal though.
