After just a few days I understood how difficult the task was. I also began to realize how powerful advertising is. After watching an ad, for a new CD for example, I want to go out and get it! To stop myself buying thing I tried not to watch TV – there are just too many ads. However, I bought some magazines and books – so that I could read instead of watching TV! I love going to the movies, but I saved money by watching DVDs at home.
