A lot of my buys are aspirational, as in “if I buy this I’m going to make more music/work out more/draw more/cook more/etc.”. Usually I just end up on some streaming site eating unhealthy food … I could definitely do that cheaper.
It won’t fix you, but it will distract you. Keep on distracting for a few years, and then you’re dead. That’s a win win I say.
IME, a lot of the time it doesn’t even do a good job of distracting you. Aspirational purchases are an easy way to waste tons of money.
I woke up this morning, my temperature high. “I’ll never buy nothing again,” I lied.
The fun is in the trying.
will I try again? probably yes
Better buy something else. The next one will be the one to do it, for sure!
This is why I buy nice secondhand things off Depop, surely the 3 parcels arriving today will be the thing to fix me.
