I've stopped spending on anything outside my core home living consumption, personally. I think it has helped reset my brain a little. Something I'm noticing is how needless it has become to invest in any newer electronic devices. In 2005 if someone had suggested I hold off on any gizmo/gadget purchases for like 5 years straight I'd have laughed. But here I am using a noticeably zippy phone from 2018 to browse, a gtx 1070 and an ancient corded logitech controller to game, my $300 2019 walmart tv is literally too smooth and detailed for me to fully perceive. When I was younger, even 5, 10 years ago, I was always interested in how much better the latest greatest thing is... now I'm swimming in so much cool shit I feel I can just tap out forever, and it all works great.

Just imagine, someone out there is shopping for a SMART toaster, right now.
