I am a bad shopper!

This evening, I went through a huge mall....with all the glitter, crowds, perfumes, eateries, display of luxury, convenience for some and necessity of a few...

I had money with me...but no desire to buy! I was rather searching for something that was worth buying at that time, but could not convince myself.

Is it that I already have all that was there in the mall? 

No.

Is it that I do not have any need to buy them? 

Perhaps yes. I did not find any 'need,....not even want! 

Why? This question was intriguing me. I walked around and got tired, but did not buy. Why?

Is it that I was conserving cash? Not a conscious attempt. I simply did not feel the need to buy. 

I then realized that perhaps I am keeping my needs at a minimum level and therefore do not have any fascination of possessing any more. 

• Does it help to maintain my needs at minimum level?
• Then what is my motivation to work? to earn? 
• Then what is the meaning and purpose of money? 

As Mr Anand Mahindra said, after a certain stage, is money a surrogate measure of success only? 

Perhaps yes!
