Brittney 1550-1:00 Ms. Leone Problem Solving Suitable Shopping As little girls, I am sure that we can all remember looking up to teenage girls and thinking that we want to be just like them in a couple years. When I would walk around the mall with my mom I can remember thinking to myself that when I could drive I want to be at the mall every day. In my mind, the mall was one of the greatest places to be and I thought it would be even better when I was older. However, now that I am older when I go to the mall there is a little part of me that regrets it every time. As a little girl I was worry free and had no responsibilities. Now that I have grown up, a trip to the mall becomes a lot more than just a trip to the mall; it turns into an empty bank account as well. I have realized over the past couple years that I have a problem, a problem that all started with Ace Hardware. Two weeks after I started that job, I got my first pay check. As the money started coming in, I opened myself a bank account. I knew that one of my biggest goals was going to be to save money, so I went ahead and opened a checking and a savings account. When I would get my paychecks, after that, I would put half of them into checking and put the other half into savings. However, that plan only lasted for so long because not only did I discover banking and a real job, but I discovered shopping. This was a new kind of shopping. I had my own money to do what I wanted with and I knew that more money would be coming in; my biggest desire was clothes. Every time someone would walk past me, then and now, I would look at what they were wearing, and if it was a cute outfit something inside of me would spark. I felt like I needed to go get an outfit like that, or top it. I wanted to have the cutest clothes, the latest trends and catch everyone’s eye. I worked hard for my money, I wanted it to show.
