I’ve recently come into the mindset that buying stuff doesn’t make me happy anyway. If it’s something I need, like an oil change, or bike tire, sure I’ll pay for it. But things that I WANT have kind of gone to the wayside. Not because I can’t afford it, but because I’m no happier with more stuff.

Also, fuck these shitty companies squeezing every last dime out of us. I’ll shop at the thrift store for clothes and buy stuff used on craigslist/ebay if I need it.

I’ve found that even if there was someone who would come out and fix things, they charge so much that it’s unreasonable anyway. YouTube has thousands of videos showing how to fix things and using the opportunity to learn to do it on your own is very beneficial long term. But I get it, because I don’t always want to learn.

I wish I were Lebanon, but my wife is going to make we watch that shit I guarantee it.
