Wise words! I completely agree with you. I've realized this exactly one year ago. I was regularly ordering hauls with 4-5 different fragrances each, and when they arrived I got my little dopamine rush and that was it. Then I was already looking for my next haul. It got so bad that I had money issues. Until I realized that I don't need 500 fragrances. I don't need to have 100 pairs of shoes. I started selling all my stuff and only kept the things that I was actually using. It felt so much better. I haven't bought a single fragrance since last december. You know TLTG reviews? That dude is the epitome of consumerism, it's insane. His entire man cave is filled with shoeboxes, literally. He seemingly buys a new pair of shoes every day. That man has an entire room full of baseball hats. On top of his thousands of fragrances, of which he's ordering more every single day. If you act like that, you're clearly missing a key to happiness in your life and you have some underlying issues
I appreciate the feed back. One thing that really irritates me in the times we live in, some people will waste things just to make a video and for likes. I honestly just like the friends and chat that I get from these videos.
I feel like brands honestly don't even have to try anymore. You have 1000 people talking about shoes fragrance and everything else it's almost like free money to these corporations
I agree to an extent. We deserve to dabble in what you want and like. Don’t need to be excessive with it. I’m last one to talk as I have a frag collection. But that is my only vice which Is coming to a near end. But be responsible.
One of the ways to stop spending so much is to have financial goals and monthly budgets. That way your extra money doesn't become your money to burn. Also, replace your fear of missing out and researching to buy the next brand new shiny thing with learning skills that you've always wanted to have, spending more time with your family, and exercising. Finally, if it's getting out of control, stop watching content that fuels your desire to buy more. Out of sight, somewhat out of mind.

I agree... I've stopped spending myself.. simply don't have the money... and I'm not one that wants for too much anyway.. great points ..
Me too. I honestly haven't bought myself anything in a while.

This is one of the biggest problems people keep thinking it’s insurance. It’s not insurance it’s health coverage.
That too
