A lot of people purchase things because either they want it or need it. I’m still young so I personally buy things that I want. My parents nowadays are strict with money, they buy things that we need. I’m not saying that we don’t spend a lot of money because we do. My mom every month sends money to my grandma all the way to Mexico about 200 or more. We also buy a lot of food and it’s always in between the 200 to 400, we eat a lot. For clothes we always spend about 200 or less. An average person spends $3,735 per month. This monthly average amounts to $44,820 per year. I guess we can do something to limit our purchasing. My first thought, is that we can buy things that we need not a lot of wants. Second thought, save our money wisely and use it in case of emergencies. Third thought, check the price tags because you don’t want to spend a lot of money on one little thing.
