花钱买快乐

花钱买快乐
This is the headline i saw on one of the newspaper article yst on train...
Its an article analysing Singaporean's style of spending.
Last year, Malls clocked a increse in profit compared to the year before.
and it seems that it is still on the rising status..

regardless how bad the economy is and how high has the various expenses went up;
Singaporeans continued with their shopping and in fact, the shopped even more.

Is this a healthy sign for Singapore??

Businessman will definitely say Yes. Cos, they are earning...
but personally i doubt so..

They state the topic as 花钱买快乐 shows that Singaporeans are spending to make themselves feel happy...
Or i should say, they shop to release stress and get happiness...
is this the right way things are suppose to be???

I am not too sure about this issue as me myself and some friends around me are doing the same thing...
Retail Theraphy, this is the term given to people like us..
but to be frank, besides shopping, there is nothing much we can do in Singapore..
There might be others.. but there are definitly restrictions that reduces the activities a general Singaporean like me can do...

Fact is always cruel.. truth is alwaes hard to be accepted..
So human will generally finds a thousand excuses to shop but seldom say the truth..
and even people who claims that they need to shop to release stress..
How true is it?? or its jus another excuse to shop and spend..

to me, as long as i still have cash to survive, i feel that its ok..
unless one day it gets disasterous that i lost control of myself and i spent my whole wealth..
LOL...
who knows what will happen...

Must Learn others ways to Happiness...
