I would go nowhere. I don’t get what shopping means. I go to buy, and I leave. I never understood walking around looking at things. If there is something I need or want, I go get it and go home. I can’t see wasting endless hours looking in windows or walking through stores just to pull a shirt or a pair of pants off the rack and look at them. Why should I do that? It seems like a time waster when I can just get what I planned to buy with the money I have, then go get lunch or dinner. I would rather sit at home watching ants carry away a bread crumb than walk around a mall as an activity.

Shopping Spree? Why?

Buy me a coffee & pão de queijo
About Kevin, I spent 40 years in FinTech before retiring to
Rio de Janeiro to trade software releases for a front-row seat
to the beautiful absurdity of life in Brazil. This blog is my digital
porch, a place for unpolished commentary on book reviews,
daily gripes, and the random thoughts of a guy who finally has
the time to pay attention. I’m an observant realist with a deep
appreciation for history, a good quote, and the perspective that
only comes after the career ends. I write to stay sharp, to stay
honest, and to keep the conversation going.
