Ah damn, gotta watch out for my Alcoholism habit
“Watered bottle”
Just remember, we could house every single person on earth when it doesn’t concern capitalism. We make double the amount of food every day to feed every person on earth every day and we toss but still have homeless and hungry. Just remember that.
Weird how I’ve seen a number of rich people do all of those things, and they continue to be rich.
It’s gotta be something else…
I impulse buy a lot. That is not in any way making me poorer, though. For reference, I impulsively buy pens and yarn.
Gambling will definitely make you poor though
Video Games being on the list is hilarious. Ever since the death of the arcade, those are some of the least expensive things I buy for how long I use them. Paid $20 for Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, Terraria, and Vintage Story. I have thousands of hours in the first three and around 500 hours in VS.
Eating avocado toast
Or anything else. Eating is quite expensive
Don’t forget eating food will generally make you poor, and renting a cardboard box on the side of the road will cost you $10,000 with a $3,000 go fuck yourself fee
Doing anything other than sitting at home 24/7 will make you poor, and even that will cost you.
You can spend your way to poverty, but you cannot save your way to wealth.
“Buying onlyfan” Lmao
help I’m addicted to water bottles I’m gonna lose my house
Watered Bottles*
cause alcoholism is strictly capitalist
No, some of you are absolutely ADHD filling a hole buying worthless shit.
Both unregulated capitalism and your inability to budget can exist.
The culture romanticizes consumerism. Children are taught at a young age to prioritize things over people.
Tbf hobbies aren’t seen as hobbies unless they cost money
You will have harder time making friends, connections, and finding jobs if some core part of your personality doesn’t involve consumerism.
Jesus Christ, go play some soccer or cricket. You people make the shittiest excuses and stories.
Look I am trying my best to understand. If it was some brats with rich parents that would make sense.
But half an entire age-range couldn’t just start impulse-buying if there wasn’t something else going on.
I get what you mean, but there is hiking, surfing, video games if you pirate, tons of hobbies cost very little long-term or reduce already existing expenses, like cooking or riding a bicycle/motorcycle instead of driving (assuming you go all in and don’t also buy a car, relegating the 2 wheeler to “toy I use when the weather is nice”.
