you know – this is always represented in the news/etc as ‘a starbucks a day’ but i mean moreso a gadget or a shirt. i’m splurging on deodorant right now. is that immoral? are you meant to have a mostly austere budget until you’re a boomer with a house and a fence?

so uhh what’s the last little thing you bought to not go insane?

    You’ll probably never have a house. Better rip that bandaid off quick. Lol

    I buy things occasionally, yes. I’ve been trying to prioritize though, and also have been really focusing on dealing with my old stuff too. I’ve basically made a self-imposed rule of selling/donating/reimplementing the old things, which allows me to better focus on the new things and not feel so bad about it. Being materialistically responsible is something I wished I’d learned earlier in life. I’ve still got a long way to go, but the progress I’ve made has helped tremendously.
