Does Money Equal Perfection?

To many, a clear face and perfect body is most definitely a dream come true nowadays nobody appreciates their appearance. Everyone has resorted to putting chemicals in their hair, reconstructing their face, enduring such pain for hours to create a permanent portrait on ones skin, these are some of the countless things people go through because based on their opinion “will improve appearance and gain more self confidence”. Thousands of dollars are spent based on their self belief.

Plastic surgery is the most unnecessary, risky yet expensive procedure. With few procedures being under $7000 a lot have not been financially able to support this procedure, therefore more and more people have been taking thousands of dollars out of saving accounts or going into debt. Over 15 million people in 2011 underwent plastic surgery the numbers are rising every year along with how much these procedures cost. The most sickening thing is all this money is being wasted on something that is so unnecessary. Since plastic surgery is so popular the demand for it is increasing every year. All in all, plastic surgery is wasting time and money that is being taken out of our pockets for no real reason and highly unnecessary.

What can you say about your hair? Too curly, don't like colour, or length? Bringing up the subject about cutting a girls hair will make her cringe. We are too attached and obsessed with something that could be gone within a matter of seconds. (Even worse,a girl spends $15000 on average, on her hair.) This is money that could be spent on bills, clothes, your kids future. Instead of hair curlers, straighteners, dye, the list goes on. We need to learn from others and spend less money on something we want but spend more time to work with what we've got. It seems parents are now focusing more on their appearance, and less on family members.

Celebrities, your cousin, even your teacher all have a 95% chance of wearing makeup. Literally spending money to smudge a liquid on your face for 6 hours then wipe off, what a waste. Applying such substances to our face can make us into sometime we strive to look like, natural beauty is much more affectionate than caked on make up. I would would much rather look like myself then spend $50 on a powder to cover a zit. Makeup damages and ruins your skin, as well as not applied correctly to others standards it can lead to bullying. Too much money misspent on something so unwanted and spent on something that does not make a positive impact on our lives, so why buy it?    

Millions upon millions of dollars gone to waste. Products and procedures that everyone thinks of on payday. You could make differences in your life by not buying needless things and focusing on more important things, like family, work. There are much more priorities that need to be taken care of.
