In this episode of theELORE, Mobeen and Aftab explore the concept of the consumeristic lifestyle and share their views on how to purchase with purpose. How do we consume responsibly? How do the people and things around you influence your purchases? Are you buying something because it brings you happiness or because its on sale? Or both? What can you do with the items you have now that don’t bring value to your life?

Join theELOREist’s on a journey as they share various resources and tips on how to live a meaningful life, allowing happiness to be a byproduct.
