Do not keep up with the Jones’. You have nothing to prove to them. Almost all of it is worthless junk. Don’t do it.

I am 100% behind the sentiment. I think reducing consumption is one of the most actionable, most impactful things anyone can do in their life. "90% of America lives without buying a ton of excess crap" - Citation needed.

On the flip side, if the top 10% reduces their spending the whole house of cards topples and everyone loses. I don’t lack discipline, I… uh… am saving America! 😂

Great advice. Overconsumption and income creep seem to be lurking. I’m guilty of overconsumption myself, I don’t need the new cool AI thing.

I'm a man of simple pleasures. If I ever became wealthy, I'd buy a nice lakeside cabin out in the woods and live a minimalist lifestyle in the outdoors. The extravagant lifestyles of the rich never appealed to me.
