I saw this quote in a meme and I said to myself, "OMG, YES!"
Sometimes, I think back to when I was a kid. You know, when all you worried about was what game you were going to play at recess or if you can play at your friends house after school. I never thought about what was for dinner, how bills were going to be paid or how my clothes looked. Seriously, I would forget to brush my hair some days and it didn't phase me at all🤣
Slowly, things changed and appearance became important. It was a sad day when wearing a matching sweat suit from Woolco, wasn't okay anymore.
Then, marketers and companies went crazy and with the number of ways they can communicate with us, it can be overwhelming. We are bombarded with messaging of all the food we should buy and eat, because, hey, "you only live once" and in the next breath, we are told how we can lose all that excess weight and be better looking. We are told to embrace aging and then we are sold on every single cream, pill, and supplement to "stop the aging process" or help us to "not look your age". Not only do we have our looks to worry about (which apparently will never be good enough) we also have to live in a designer house and have an amazing wardrobe and have the best car along with a cabin and a swanky winter vacation. I don't know about you, but that stuff is expensive! I also don't know where I missed out on the jobs with the adequate salaries to pay for all this. I think that a cool $300,000/year should do the trick?!
So, now I am buying the things that are supposed to make me happy and that are symbols of my success, only to spend the rest of my days trying to pay this stuff off? It's too much!
So, what can I do? First of all - you do you and live within your means. Fill your life and your home with things that make your heart sing, not because an HGTV show told you how it should be. Guys, I have flying pigs and lamas with flowers in my décor and a bubblegum pink chair that I am sure would make designers cringe. Live the life that you love and do it on your terms. Want to wear a matching sweat suit, go for it! Going to rock your grey hair - love it! Going to plan a tenting vacation because the BVI's aren't in the budget - awesome! Live your life and enjoy the ride.
