It feels like everything that exists these days is to drain money from me. Tourism is out of control. I don't even want to travel anymore. Video games, kids sports, eating out... It's all overly expensive just because they can.

It's frustrating.

Yup it’s a conscious decision to not spend. I don’t do it for financial reasons ( it helps my savings) but I’m very conscious of who gets my money. I work hard for it. I am not gonna be told by adverts to buy crap I don’t need or made to feel I need to do something to enjoy myself.

I am really stepping up to recycling and buying used in an effort to under consume. Enjoy your garden. Sail the seas. Make and effort to cook food I really want. Bulk buy…the things I really need. I question so much.

Insta drives me crazy. I love the inspiration but the product placement and the telling you about their new tool (which likely already exists) or pushing a book, or a service etc I find it trashy and cheap. Turns me right off people.
