      Exactly. There’s a shit ton of materialistic impulse spending that didn’t used to exist and doesn’t need to exist. I’m guilty of it too.

      People have literally been trained by the capitalist system to think they have to buy stuff to be happy. They got us hooked on short term dopamine rushes.
