People think they need to go on 1-2 major vacations a year. That is a luxury. There is 0 need for this. You think families went on major vacations 1-2 times a year 40 years ago? LMAO.
Two vehicles and new ones at that? Daycare? Starbucks in the morning? Boat/RV/Camper? New equipment for some new hobby you only do 3 times total? $20 cocktails just to say you "went out"? Fancy restaurants or Uber Eats instead of cooking because people are too tired from work to cook? New purses? New clothes that get worn twice? A big house in a NICE neighborhood even though you've never met your neighbors and hardly spend any time in the kitchen anyway? Student debt? Why did you go to school in the first place?
The way people are living is so inefficient and non-optimal. The only people truly benefiting from dual-income lifestyles are the employers who have doubled their wage slaves thus depressing salaries. Men would be better off if their wife stayed home and women would enjoy life more if they just stayed home instead of worked and convinced themselves they needed to work to be valuable as a human.
People are so used to it that they don’t even see it as excessive any longer. They are addicted to their selfish lifestyle. I’m glad I wasn’t born into a rich family.
I used to envy the rich kids when I was younger, but now that I am older I realize how blessed I was not to be that spoiled. It means I can live without any of it and be satisfied.
I see that this is the core weakness of our society today. People used to be happy with the simple things in life. Their fear of losing stuff is why they cave so easily today.
It is entirely pointless consumerist crap.
