I was always a little puzzled by this concept and I think it gets more silly every decade. How can someone routinely spend money on goods given how insanely cheap goods have become?
There's maybe a small percentage of the population addicted to buying brands beyond what they could possibly use, but most people run out of the ability to buy a significant amount of stuff every year. I.e. even a thousand a month habit is insane to maintain and nothing compared to bad housing choices.
- AlexandrB 1y agoMaybe I should have used a word other than stuff, but it's easy to spend a lot of money on travel, pets, entertainment, etc. Some of these categories have infinite sinks - e.g. gambling or gatcha games for entertainment.
