LOH Contest #169. Shopping stop// Parada a las compras. [ENG-ESP]
Todos los años, en enero, elaboro el presupuesto de mi casa y mi reciente visita a un gran centro comercial me recuerda que nuestros objetivos financieros pueden verse socavados por la tentación de gastar. ¿Cuáles son tus estrategias y tácticas para mantenerte en el buen camino?
Ciertamente, nuestras finanzas se pueden ver socavadas en el mes de enero, teniendo en cuenta que algunas tiendas y comercios promocionan ofertas que pueden resultar muy tentadoras, sobre todo en objetos y adornos que tienen que ver con la navidad, pero también se pueden dar ofertas de ropas que algunas veces no necesitamos, pero nos vemos tentados por las ofertas y promociones.
Les cuento que en una época eso para mí casi representaba un vicio constante que me iba a principios de año a recorrer tiendas y comercios para ver las ofertas y siempre compraba algo muchas veces sin necesitarlo, sino por el hecho de aprovechar las promociones.
En algunos casos era algo que no iba a necesitar por el momento, pero que sí en un futuro, eso fue el caso de una vez que compre varias instalaciones de luces para el arbolito que no los iba a necesitar en esa fecha de enero, pero que si luego me sirvieron para colocarlas en el arbolito porque las que tenía estaban bastante viejitas y no todas las luces servían.
Every year in January I budget for my household and my recent visit to a large shopping mall reminds me that our financial goals can be undermined by the temptation to spend. What are your strategies and tactics to stay on track?
Certainly, our finances can be undermined in the month of January, considering that some stores and stores promote offers that can be very tempting, especially on objects and decorations that have to do with Christmas, but there can also be offers on clothes that sometimes we don't need, but we are tempted by the offers and promotions.
I tell you that at one time for me it was almost a constant vice that I would go at the beginning of the year to visit stores and stores to see the offers and I would always buy something many times without needing it, but just to take advantage of the promotions.
In some cases it was something that I was not going to need at the moment, but that I would need in the future, that was the case once when I bought several light fixtures for the tree that I was not going to need at that time in January, but then I used them to place them on the tree because the ones I had were quite old and not all the lights were useful.
En la actualidad soy muy dura para gastar en cosas que no requiero, aun en cosas que puedo necesitar, pero que no representa algo extremadamente necesario, porque la situación país no da ya para esos gastos medianamente necesarios, entonces una buena estrategia es no buscar cosas que no quieres comprar, es decir simplemente no voy a visitar las tiendas y comercios así tengan ofertas y promociones, porque muchas veces vemos la necesidad de algo cuando observamos que lo podemos comprar.
Por otro lado, considero que para mí comodidad en mi casa no me hace falta nada, y eso me hace que no ande buscando que comprar, de repente si me doy algunos antojitos, pero solamente de alguna comida, un helado o algo muy bueno del supermercado que no es de mi compra habitual.
Ahora bien, cuando la persona es muy compulsiva comprando, la mejor estrategia para evitar eso es no visitar esos sitios donde cree que puede sucumbir a la debilidad de comprar, otra forma si le gusta visitar los comercios y centros comerciales, lo mejor que debe hacer es no llevar las tarjetas y simplemente llevar el dinero necesario como para comerse un helado y pagar el estacionamiento, ya que sin dinero no se puede comprar por más que se desee.
At present I am very hard to spend on things that I do not require, even on things that I may need, but that do not represent something extremely necessary, because the country's situation does not allow for these moderately necessary expenses, so a good strategy is not to look for things you do not want to buy, that is simply not going to visit the stores and stores even if they have offers and promotions, because many times we see the need for something when we see that we can buy it.
On the other hand, I consider that for my comfort in my house I don't need anything, and that makes me not to go looking for what to buy, suddenly if I get some snacks, but only of some food, an ice cream or something very good from the supermarket that is not my usual purchase.
Now, when the person is very compulsive shopping, the best strategy to avoid that is not to visit those places where you think you can succumb to the weakness of buying, another way if you like to visit the stores and malls, the best thing to do is not to carry the cards and just carry the money needed to eat an ice cream and pay the parking, because without money you can not buy as much as you want.

And that is what I chose to do. I stopped going to Shopping Malls to avoid the temptation before it happens. I substituted that habit by shopping at Thrift stores of used clothing and household items making a big difference in my budget. However, Google ads still follows me around. Engage Ad blockers!
