I make a decent wage. But for the last few years I’ve just been really uninterested in spending money, because shit is so crazy nowadays that I might lose my job and be unemployed for a while. So I just stopped eating out. Stopped buying the expensive brand. Stopped buying random little things. I’m fine. I just put my attention into other things. I spend half what I used to, and I don’t really notice. My phone? Older, but still supported and works fine. Just lost my desire to have brand new and gained the desire to hoard money.
It’s interesting to see someone’s perspective as you.
I am on a slightly different path in that I have always not splurged on myself because I always wanted to know I was secure, but after the shit show that has been the last 6 years, I now splurge more than ever because I’m not even sure if I’ll be here tomorrow.
Truly, at this point, all that I ever worked hard for in life is so far out of my reach, I just really do not give a fuck anymore.
Sounds like me. Maybe once or twice a year I splurge less than 200 bucks on something nice for myself,(last year it was a new knife, and I went halfsies on a new headset with my wife as a bday present). I just literally don’t buy anything.

I hear that not giving a fuck part. I’m really just take it or leave it regarding life.
Cheers. May we outlast this crazy shit, or at the very least, not suffer when it all comes crashing down.
