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?

      Life isn’t as black and white as you want it to be, sometimes having nice things does help you feel better about life. You can’t buy your way to happiness but you won’t find it in austerity either.

        Life is as black and white as u want it to be. Do u feel proud of the things u have because u have them or because of what they do?
