I'm talking things you don't need to spend money on but do it anyway because you can't control your impulses, not things you're obligated to pay (insurance, taxes, fuel/travel costs) but can't avoid.
I usually have no money. Have had about 10 bucks since October. Currently have $1 and am short money for a new charger cord for my phone. I probably need about 50 cents. But I'm ok for the moment.
"The money which a man possesses is the instrument of freedom; that which we eagerly pursue is the instrument of slavery. Therefore I hold fast to that which I have, and desire nothing." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Confessions
Unsurprisingly, Rousseau was from a French Calvinist background. A son of Geneva.
When I was working and had money I was extremely thrifty even then. My biggest waste was probably buying consumer goods which was just illustrative of my being more integrated into the bullshit lifestyle than I am now. Before my extended time in county I was regularly buying sugar donuts at Dunkin several times a week.
I know voaters like to pretend they are prefect but everyone has their vices. I voted Alcohol, cigarettes. It was the closest thing to weed and nicotine.
Nothing. My hard-earned money goes to renting a nice house in a White neighborhood, where there is zero crime. I don't eat out or go on vacations. I have zero debt, and aim to stay that way.
