Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

There are a few purchases that I regret making in life and think about how I could have saved money if I was sensible enough back then…!


But,

Today’s prompt is on the contrary,

The best purchases we have made with money-

It could be your hard earned money,

or it could have been a partial payment was made by you and rest was taken up by someone,

Or you are still paying emi’s for it…!


A purchase is a good one only if you can pay it off without worrying about how you will manage the rest…!


For me,

One of the best purchases I made for myself is the iPhone that I bought for myself,

Even if it was a second hand one, I have been using it ever since I bought it and it’s the medium that I use to connect with the world and bring you all of the posts…!


I made the payment in full and was gifted some accessories as I got it from a friend who runs a small business of selling phone accessories and it belonged to his sisters friend and they wanted to sell it because she was upgrading it..!


Khair

I ended up with this iPhone and I’m using it each and every day since then…!


There was a different happiness as it is my first apple device and I bought it from the money I earned through hardwork…!


The best purchase that I made for my mom was a smart watch…!

She wanted to track her progress and steps but she told me that she couldn’t carry her phone with her all the time,

So it was a noise smartwatch which tracks her steps, heart rate and sleep which gives her an insight into what she is doing right or wrong…!


Oh the happiness on her face when I took it out of the box and tightened it on her wrist and paired with her phone…!

And she was overjoyed to tell me that she listened and made her first call on that watch…!

Which made me realise how fast technology has changed and one day as I was returning from work I made a call and asked her if we needed anything for home…?

she recited a list and I wrote it on my phone..!

And she was overjoyed to tell me that she picked up that call on her watch and there was so much happiness on her face I couldn’t comprehend it…!


Yes the call was a bit choppy but I couldn’t bring myself to tell her that so I kept that piece of information to myself…!


These are the two of the best purchases I made the latter one is much more close to me…!


I hope you have a good day and this read brings you some nostalgia..!


Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍
