As a young adult, I can honestly say that watching television reflected heavily on the idea of credit cards. There was a new glamorous lifestyle a young professional could have once they got their first credit card. There are, of course, glamorous aspects of having a credit card, like having that extra sense of security in case of emergency or being able to treat yourself once in a while to that extra special gift.

And frankly, I feel like investing in myself first is always the best option. With that said, do you need to break the bank every time you wanna do yoga while eating kale on a mountain (wait, do people actually do that)? Heck no! You don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on new kitchen equipment. I was recently asked how much someone should spend on a new blender and I told them that the quality of the product is more important than the price tag. I also told them they should read some reviews (like this oster blender review) to educate themselves on the best product for their needs rather than just buying the most expensive product.
