This Likileake: People buy what they want not what they can afford?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

.<\/p>\n

\"helicopter\"People buy what they want not what they can afford: <\/strong>I recently watched a man buy a remote controlled helicopter in a shopping mall.\u00a0 He walked past a stand where a young man was operating a remote control device to make a toy helicopter fly all around the potential customers.<\/p>\n

I guess you could call it an impulse buy or purchase but I couldn\u2019t help stare at the 3 young children by his side.\u00a0 Their clothes were dirty and the oldest one which was about 6 years old had shoes on her feet that looked like they were gotten from a dumpster.<\/p>\n

It is easy to see that this man thought that buying that new toy was more important than getting new shoes for his daughter.\u00a0 My immediate thoughts turned to an article I had read a long time ago that talked about the fact that people buy what they want and not what they can afford.\u00a0 Of course the article was talking about purchasing a home that the buyer knew they couldn\u2019t afford but bought it anyway.<\/p>\n

I see people every day driving around in brand new cars and trucks with close to five hundred dollars a month payments attached to them.\u00a0 I personally want a lot of things but a payment book is not one of them.\u00a0 How about you, do you buy what you want or what you can afford?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
