Time for some shrooms and a little introspection, maybe a nice cup of tea with a slice of lime.
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.
get a hobby and buy things that let you make things. then you get to wake up and admire the things yesterday-you made.

I see sir that you believe in “scorched earth” policy.
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.

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.

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.

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’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

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.”

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

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.
