Me as a consumer citizen

I am the consumer citizen that every company wants to have. I am faithful to particular brands not because they are necessary the best quality but they best represent me and the image I like to display. I know it sounds superficial and that is something that I have learned to ignore, because I am content with the consumer citizen I have learned to be. I spend my money on clothes, shoes, and going out to dinner. These are all things that make me feel content and give me comfort. I feel that there are different stages in consumerism and this is the one I am in now. Now that I am approaching graduation in the next couple years I have started to think more along the lines of my future when I think about my role as a consumer. Right now, I am in college and my parents help me with rent and my car and stuff like that, but after graduation and I hopefully get a job these helpful fund from my parents are going to stop and my spending habits have to change. When this dreaded day comes my money will no longer go towards the things that I want to have it will go towards the things I need to have. As of now, I do enjoy the ability to do what I want with the money that I have but I know that in the near future life is not going to be the same.
