CLOUT BUYING, IS IT WORTH IT?

Yasmin Gambari • October 17, 2020

What is clout buying you ask? Well this is when you buy something for the sole purpose of making yourself look cooler. Notice I said "look cooler" and "be cooler". Unfortunately, the truth is when you buy something simply for clout you are most likely paying to portray an illusion that will only keep people interested in you for a moment. You try to impress people with all the fancy things you buy- but you become dead broke in the process. Instead of having good food to eat you are left with noodles until your next pay check.


So, ask yourself this- is it worth it?

I admit the anwser might be yes, but for most of us, that material satisfaction will only last a couple days- because guess what sis?! that bag you bought last week- the designer just dropped a brand new one and unfortunately for you, you are now broke with a bag from last season.


Sooo what's the plan now?  Are you going to steal? I hope not, plus I doubt you have "The Professor’s" (shoutout to money heist) skills to rob anywhere.


You see if you had just stopped for a second and thought "ouuu payday is coming let me take a third or maybe a quarter and save for my future".  Maybe you would not be stuck in this situation.


My point is, you will never change your financial situation unless you change your habits , therefore the secret of your success lies in your routine.


make saving a routine!!!
