Be a Wise Consumer!
It’s easy to walk into a store and buy some item you’ve been admiring. And if you do that, you wouldn’t be a wise consumer. Wise consumers invest both thought and effort before they spend their money. First of all, ask yourself if you really must have the item. Is buying the product the best use of your savings? If you decide that, yes, the item is something you truly want, then it’s time to do some research. Also, suppose you’re a music lover with your heart set on a fancy set of headphones. If there are many similar products sold, do some research to find out which headphones are best. Check the Internet. Check a magazine about audio-visual equipment. Ask music-loving friends. Once you know which headphones you want to buy, look for the best price. Wise consumers comparison-shop on the Internet. They also keep an eye out for sales. And, of course, they buy only from good sellers. They want to be sure they will get their money’s worth and feeling confident the seller will help if there’s any problem.

We Wear the Mask
BY PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR
We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!
