I put a lot of impulse shit in my shopping list first. If I still want it over a week later, I might get it. Most of it I never get.
I had a massive consumption problem. Especially on hobby spending. This year I uninstalled every retail app and unsubscribed from every promotional email. No exceptions. No more notifications about limited time offers, sales, bundles, last chances, etc.
Tell yourself that if you really need it, you’ll pay full price for it. If you aren’t willing to pay full price for it, then ask yourself if you really need it. Force yourself to log into the site from your browser when you buy it rather than having it be two taps away.
I’ve also taken a more critical look at the YouTubers I follow to see which ones are spending more time talking about promoted products or the monetary value of things VS their quality and utility.
Almost every interaction on the internet is now designed to separate you from your money. Remember that and you’ll realize how much we’re being treated like lab rats.
I basically cut my spending in half, which was good because my income was lower this year. Despite that, I was able to save more.
Don’t buy clothes to make yourself happy.
Buy knives to make yourself happy! And then, if you’re feeling unhappy, you can go out for a walk with your knife, and find a cool stick, and you can whittle it into a magic wand or a spoon if you want to get really creative, and then you’ll feel happy.

get a hobby and buy things that let you make things. then you get to wake up and admire the things yesterday-you made.
Imagine pushing your own way of coping as universal. So fucking arrogant and egocentric.
One day you might consider that different people cope differently. When your head isn’t as far up your own ass sniffing your own farts.

Man, we really need a selfawarewolves community
They were just making a suggestion. Chill out.
Nah, they were making a generic statement, as if whatever they had to say about hobbies was universally applicable. And in an imperative tone too, of all fucking things.
You’re probably some sort of bootlicking apologist, white-knighting for them like a fucking simp. Unkindly go fuck yourself for defending them and butting in where you don’t fucking belong. Also get the fuck out.
go the fuck back to fucking reddit you moron, because we don’t need people like this! feel free to click on every single ad you see and buy everything they want to sell you, and leave all of us out of it! goddamnit you fucking piece of garbage! get out, right now, and never ever come back!
Go end yourself instead of spewing that word vomit. 😄
Oh I see. Youre attempting trolling. Carry on.
You’re succeeding at being one. Use that gun I know you rednecks have, why don’t you.
I see sir that you believe in “scorched earth” policy.
Sounds rough. I don’t think it’s that deep.
Wow. Seriously… Are you ok?
Love the defense where instead of engaging you imply the other person has issues, because their opinion is different from your own.
Been drinking a bit too much water from lead pipes, bud?
It’s not a defense of anything. I don’t even care about the original topic enough to discuss it.
I was just hoping you’d have a moment of realization that you’re behaving like an abused angry stray dog, trying to bite everyone around you for no reason.
Everyone is very weirded out by your over the top aggressive behavior. That’s what’s happening here. Yes - People do not behave the way that you are unless they have issues. I’m not saying that because I want to incite you. It’s just obvious to all except for yourself, and I hope that you can see it.
Anyway, good luck to you.
Loving the better-than-thou aesthetic, is it something you were born with or did you curate it?
Clearly you’re a fucking arrogant bastard same as the OC I replied to. Maybe lay off the lead pipes.
What defense is needed, short of saying ‘if it doesn’t work for you, cool, but it works for many other people’ and telling you to calm your tits?
Maybe avoid using imperatives on generalisations aimed at strangers? Really, calm your tits, no one is your dog. Gtfo.
Time for some shrooms and a little introspection, maybe a nice cup of tea with a slice of lime.
I’m unemployed now and had to stop but I still want an all sfp+ managed switch and some regular manages switches with sfp+ for my home network. And I actually do lie in bed with electronics before installing them. Its a building up motivation thing
Hey, one week of anticipation to distract from the yawning chasm of darkness is better than nothing.
This is why I play the lottery.
Honestly this is true for me too. I could buy something for 50 buck and wait a week in excitement for it to arrive only to abandon it in an hour.
Or I can buy a 3 dollar lottery ticket for the weekend draw and be excited all week only to only lose 3 bucks when I inevitably dont win.
Fuck you brain, You’ll never be happy/satisfied! I know your game and ill spend the least amount possible to get you to fuck off for a week!
I recently discovered fidget toys as a way of slowing my online shopping. Hasn’t stopped it, but putting it beside the phone decreased the phone time at least

Anyway I always scroll down and read through all the comments before I say what someone else probably already said. And you said it :-)
Except I would’ve said “and” instead of “abd.”
abd
