Hello everyone, how are you? I hope you are doing well. This is my second time participating in a prompt issued by this community. Thank you for the rules, even though I am not from Nigeria, I can participate.

I want to answer the promise about money. Money may not be the source of happiness, but money can buy some things we want. I agree that money cannot buy happiness, but with money we can buy some things.

I remember very well, I bought a tablet a few months ago. Incidentally, I have really wanted a tablet for a long time. But, I was only able to buy it a few months ago. How did I feel when I was able to buy the tablet? I was very happy to be able to buy the tablet I wanted.

I can write easily on the tablet without opening the laptop. On the cellphone, it feels very uncomfortable to open the writing. Some applications are not supported by using a cellphone. Sometimes the small screen makes me disappointed to write.

But, I have one impulsive side of me. Without thinking I bought a table to help my work more comfortably. Actually, I already have a small table at home. It can be used for studying and can also be used as a dining table. But, I thought about buying a slightly higher table for work needs.

In fact, I didn't use the table. Now the table is only used as a skincare table. I regret buying the item. It only makes my house narrower. Actually, I never buy items that have the same use, if they are not damaged.

Before I buy an item, I always make a list of necessities. But, when buying a table, I didn't think long. I just bought it. With the hope of being comfortable working while working from home without having to go to a cafe. In fact, I was wrong.

I work using a small table again and it turns out to make me more productive than the high table I imagined. Until now, I still don't know whether I will sell the table or throw it away. That's just a glimpse from me. See you again.
