Have your shopping habits changed over the years? In what ways?

/2025-07-07

ȸ ÷ֽ ۹
I have gradually improved my shopping habits over the recent years. Until my early 20s, I had a tendency to impulsively purchase attractive items whenever I wanted to have them. Although this habit of buying something spontaneously and recklessly led to excessive expenses, I didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. At that time, I had never experienced my own income, so I lacked financial sense. However, in 2021, I received a monthly salary for the first time from Korean Airforce, which helped me realize the value of money and become more mature. I also felt sorry for my parents' previous support. After that, I started part-time jobs and came to embrace a habit of shopping only what I truly needed. Moreover, These days, I look for cheaper items rather than the best-performing ones, and I often seek out second-hand products or bargains.
