(This may apply to men too)

Ok you're sitting or going about you daily office business and then u get word that someone in the office or someone's friend just came in with things to sell (i.e. shoes, bags, undies, clothes, jewellery, make-up etc.) in the boot of their car in the parking lot, or in a need-to-know basis office room (lol).

At the end of the day, you end up buying stuff not in your budget! just because it was convenient and right in front of you (and u dont have to pay immediately  ).  So a considerable amount of your salary is gone on some over-priced stuff.  Although rarely, you do get a good deal.

Today I bought a party dress, a clutch bag to match, a dress-top, and a t-shirt.

Last year it was out of control,  There was a day i bought three bags at a go from this woman in my former office.  I felt so bad the next day cos i went home and my sis told me they were overpriced (the straps of one of them are now cutting), and I still had to deprive myself of a large chunk of my next month's salary.

Anyway, point is, buying stuff on credit could put you in serious debt!  Especially those seemingly cheap things people bring to sell in our offices.  I don dey reduce my spending now,  Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity.

Any experiences/input?

This act is so common among ladies especially those that work in the office.
I worked in a bank and I know how often ladies in my branch buy things on credit to the extent that when salaries are paid, they easily empty their accounts and also dogde from some oftheir creditors.

More worisome is the fact that they buy a lot of tings they do not need at very unimaginable prices.
Abeg ladies it s time to wake up oooooooooooooo!
