1. Stop going to Starbucks
2. Keep driving that old car
3. Set up a 501(c)(3) that takes donated computer equipment from businesses and resells them with 100% of the proceeds going to charity, minus your salary.
4. Set up an LLC that buys the good electronics from your 501(c)(3) at a steep discount and then resells them for a profit.

⭐it's hard, I know, but just take 10% out of your paycheck immediately when it hits your account and Zelle or transfer it to an account that isn't as easily accessible. Savings accounts are good too, but you'd be surprised how fast it grows out of sight out of mind

I quit smoking cigarettes so I needed something else to stand around outside doing. So far I’m not very good at it but it’s really put into perspective what a waste of money cigarettes are.

I have an acquaintance whose personality I have always found grating and today I finally realized exactly what it is that I dislike so much: they pride themselves on being an ideal consumer. They get chuffed as fuck at how well marketing works on them to the point of being borderline braggadocious about how quickly and deliberately they react to advertising; even when they’ve been duped or scammed they admire the way they’ve been fooled.
It’s so cartoonishly American, they’re like a funhouse mirror that accentuates by own stupid fatso traits and stokes my most antisocial impulses. They say you should “let people enjoy things” but there’s got to be a healthier middle ground where my friend stops enjoying adding to their credit card debt to see every Ryan Reynolds movie in IMAX and I stop enjoying hating them for it.
