Buying landfill

It’s fast approaching the end of financial year, which means it’s time for some insane sales.

If you’ve been on here long enough to have survived at least one Black Friday, you’ll know I like to jump on my high horse and challenge you not to buy sh*t you don’t need just because it’s cheap.

(Unless you’ve been waiting for something to go on sale before buying it – I fully support that 😁).

Here’s a quote I like to share especially for these occasions:

80 percent of everything bought during Black Friday sales will end up either in landfill, incineration or at best, low quality recycling – often after a short life. It’s expected more than half of shoppers will buy electronic goods and almost a third will purchase clothes during Black Friday sales.

If you’re not familiar with the 4 Stages of Owning Stuff, I strongly encourage you to take 2 extra minutes and read that.

As always, your challenge is to resist the sale. Try it once, and see if anything bad happens 😉
