How often do you buy things? (Besides food/necessities)






Before I was married I practiced minimalism as a way to be more mindful, present, and grateful. I only owned what could fit in my duffel bag for a few years, including my sleeping mat and wool blanket

This summer I've attempted a six month period of buying nothing at all aside from grocery store food. It's made me more grateful for the things I have and care less about materialism. I'll probably continue through the winter and see how long I can go

My possessions can fit in a bag. I don't even have chairs. Not cause I'm trying to be minimalist or grateful for what I have, fuck that. Bro why are you sleeping on a mat.

A simple life made my experiences richer. I was free to move my whole life somewhere else any day for any reason, and I did a lot

A simple life is simply that. There was a time where I withdrew from society and knew no one, not even online.

But I didn't sleep on a mat. That's not gonna enrich your life, you're sleeping on a mat. If you slept on grass out on a field, that would be one thing but a mat? Bruh.

I'm sorry this bothers you so much

Sometimes I go a week without buying bullshit, sometimes I buy multiple bullshit items a week. For example last week I did nothing. This week I got tired of my small screen space (23 inches) and bought a second monitor (27 inches) and monitor arms, Madden 22, Cyberpunk 2077, and that Jackbox Humble Bundle. The first two items were paid for by credit card points though.

I do budget even if it's halfassed so I never let the spending get out of control.

People slept on mats for 500k years, I find mattresses uncomfortable. You can easily get used to it

Eh, I buy things that I need. It's not a consistent thing though. I bought some hair clippers last week and some underwear 2 weeks before that. But I didn't buy anything besides food and digital games in June and July.

That said, I'm far from a minimalist. I just try to avoid doing things like buying stuff online then never using it for years. One of my Aunts does this and has tons of unopened boxes in her house.
