ART: Affordable Retail Therapy

If someone ever tries to sound wise and ask you “Can money buy happiness?” Tell them “Obviously yes!! Never been shopping, bro”

Retail Therapy is a shortcut of happiness. Except two problems, first, filling the house and wardrobe with spontaneous shopping is painful to see every single day, after the high to managing the many colorful bags in your few fingers fades.

Second and bigger problem is that most of us have access to only “sweat money”. It’s not important if you have a lot or very little of “sweat money” but because it’s hard earned money that you know how you earned, when you earned and how much you earned, such money is not easy to spend.  

So how do you “buy” the happiness, without spending money and filling your house and wardrobe with things what will make you cringe after a week.

You google it!!!

Oh I mean google/facebook/pinterest/wish/amazon/zales/tiffany/homegoods/jungle/designemporia/amrapali it …

You can indefinitely and uncontrollably browse for this you need and what you just like looking it, without driving around and being an inconvenience to the sales person breathing down your neck. Type, quantity, quality, need, budget, price, durability, space in house and wardrobe…nothing matters. You can browse on emerald necklaces, patio furniture, swarovski chandelier,rugs  all you want. It is poor man’s/woman’s shopping. The added advantage is definitely transcending continent boundaries so you browse through unlimited number of sarees, kundan jewelry, potli purses, terracotta décor items…. 

It is lame i admit, but works for some of us ...
