11. Habit

Nov 21

I've lost the habit of shopping over the last year. I mean, for example, where I use to check my saved Amazon cart for price drops almost daily... I just don't buy the stuff anymore, and don't bother staying tuned for deals or price drops. Cat laser pointers, movies, crap for my laptop or iphone... heck, even certain special/fun snacks and such... all gone from my menu. Too much other stuff costs too much to waste money on anything, and the stuff I do buy to replace used up things is generally crap anymore, so I always ask... do I really even need to replace this at all? We have 2 fewer TV's now, and no interest in replacing them. They broke the middle class... Good luck running the economy selling only iPhone Pros, $1.2million homes, and Rivian SUV's.
