Gunawan LIDA Once Had 'Greed for the Eyes' while at the Mall, Buying Whatever He Liked Regardless of the Price

Kapanlagi.com - After becoming the runner-up in Liga Dangdut Indonesia (Lida) 2020, Gunawan Muharjan's days are filled with work. Since his savings account keeps increasing, the 26-year-old man started buying things he needed on stage or on the screen.

From clothes, suits, pants, to shoes are the most items Gunawan bought. Gunawan told that he used to be the type of person who had greed for the eyes when he saw shoes he liked. Without thinking twice, he would buy them without looking at the price.

"I would immediately buy (shoes) if I saw they matched with these pants," Gunawan said in a conversation with kapanlagi.com in the Cililitan area, East Jakarta, recently.

"Gunawan used to focus on whether it was good or not without thinking about the price, that was in the past," Gunawan continued.

Although it is easy to get 'hungry eyes' when looking at items he likes, Gunawan is grateful to learn from his experience of buying shoes or pants. He doesn't want to buy something that he will only wear once.

"Actually, Gunawan can still resist the 'hungry eyes' if he keeps thinking that it's useless to wear something only once or if the pants have a very noticeable pattern, he doesn't like that," said Gunawan.

"In fact, if I wear it once and then wear it again, it will look like I've worn it several times, so it becomes plain. That way, I can wear it multiple times without being recognized," Gunawan added.

2. Learning to Manage Expenses

Over time, Gunawan has changed and now thinks more about his future finances. Therefore, Gunawan now thinks carefully before buying items for his entertainment needs.

"But now I can't be extravagant in buying things because I have to think about our future, and there are many needs, which increase as I grow older. When I finished Lida, I was still a teenager, but now I'm becoming an adult, so I just bought things without caring about the price as long as I had to have them," he explained.

"But now I have learned to control myself and understand what I really need and what I don't need. I can say that I have become more mature and can choose the best options," he concluded.
