you know – this is always represented in the news/etc as ‘a starbucks a day’ but i mean moreso a gadget or a shirt. i’m splurging on deodorant right now. is that immoral? are you meant to have a mostly austere budget until you’re a boomer with a house and a fence?
so uhh what’s the last little thing you bought to not go insane?
No, I hate buying things. It literally feels bad, and I put it off as long as I can or group it together so I can get it over with all at once.
I’m more-or-less inured to grocery shopping, and do it every other day, but it’s easier to think of it as “restocking” rather than “shopping”. No decisions to make, I know in advance what things cost, and so on.
But buying something I haven’t bought before, or at a store I haven’t been to before? Torture.
