savings. To cite an epitome, a headline published by ‘ TheTimes of India in 2010, revealed that shoppers spend 45% of their savings on buying useless items.

Therefore

, it can be argued without any scepticism that buying goods for personal pleasure can lead to financial loss.

Furthermore

, the conception of acquiring goods is prompted when an individual wants to spend their leisure time. To elaborate, a chunk of society believes that shopping is a relaxing therapy, a recreational exercise that satisfies human needs.

However

,

feeling transformed the individual into a materialistic man because they always feel that only shopping can make them feel relaxed.

For example

, a report by BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) in 2012, found that 55% of the population went shopping because they feel bored or free.

Hence

, it can be truly said that consuming merchandise to spend leisure time can have a detrimental effect on a person’s personality. In conclusion,
