Palagi tayong nakakaisip gumastos. May mga sale at discounts, luxury goods o luho, at magagandang kagamitang hindi naman talaga natin kailangan. May napakagandang bagong mga damit sa tindahan. Nariyan ang tindahang nagbebenta ng paborito mong pagkain. Nariyan din ang magandang headphones, earrings, o accessory na nagugustuhan mo… at may pera ka naman para sa kanilang lahat.
