Shopping has been known as the most loveable and favorite hobby for teens and young adults of this generation. It is because the young people want to keep up with the new fashion trends. In my opinion, this habit of buying without any need should be discouraged and other useful activites must be encouraged.
Why is shopping the favorite pastime for young people? It is because of the art of advertisement and the ease of online shopping. For example, the way fashion industry advertises their clothing and fashion products, attracts younger people so that they spend most of the time looking for new trends. Additionally, the practice of online shopping, and the way product is presented on website has made it very easy for the buyers to get attracted to them. This leads to temptation and urge to buy that particular thing even if it was not needed.
In my opinion, other habits which are more productive should be encouraged and adapted. Rather than spending time doing online shopping, a new skill should be learned to generate passive income, which in turns not only saves money but also helps one to earn money.
We should not be attracted to fancy advertisments of designer industry giants, provided that the thing we are buying is actually needed. This practice will bring a positive change in your life if you actually try it. The habit of unnecessary shopping also causes financial unrest among underprivileged population, as a result, there is a higher chance of more crime rate.
To conclude, one should buy only according to their needs. Moreover, people should get themselves busy doing something creative rather than wasting time and money on buying things which are not at all necessary.
