Amazon’s First Sale Brings Unnecessary Financial Burden

Today marks the beginning of Amazon’s first sale, with a promotional campaign offering customers points for purchases over 10,000 yen. The slogan “buy because you want it, not because it’s cheap” is being used to encourage customers to purchase items they don’t necessarily need. Unfortunately, this could lead to financial burden and stress for those who are already struggling financially. The idea of buying something simply because it is cheap can be very tempting in today's society. With prices constantly rising and wages staying stagnant, many people find themselves unable to afford the basic necessities of life. This temptation to buy things that are discounted can quickly become an addiction that leads to more debt and less savings. Furthermore, the promotion offered by Amazon only encourages this behavior as it rewards customers for spending more money than they normally would have. While this may be beneficial for some people who are able to afford larger purchases without any financial strain, it could also lead others into further debt or cause them to make impulse buys that they later regret. While buying something simply because it is cheap may seem like a good idea at first glance, in reality it can often lead to unnecessary financial burden and stress down the line. It is important for consumers to think twice before making any purchase and consider if they really need what they are buying or if there are cheaper alternatives available elsewhere. In order for people to truly benefit from sales such as these, they must remember that “buying because you want it” should always come before “buying because it's cheap".
