how to stick to no buy when money isn’t an issue
sorry if this sounds very privileged and out of touch and not very coherent i’m sort of just word vomiting. so my family is wealthy and i’ve been able to buy basically anything i want growing up. like i’m only 18 and have an egregious amount of designer items most of which i don’t even use or like. with the current state of the world right now i know so many people are struggling to survive and i feel so guilty spending what would be a life changing amount of money for most on a stupid handbag i’ll use once or twice simply because i was feeling a bit down. i also feel super guilty about not working for the money i spend, i have done nothing in my life to deserve it yet some people have to work every waking moment just to get by.
i’ve been really trying to cut back on my spending for the past 2 years but i feel that my upbringing and environment make it exceedingly difficult to stick to no buy longer than a week or two. for example i’m currently in st trop vacationing with friends and all we do every day is lay around tanning, shopping and spending a shit ton of money at the club. i don’t want to be the odd one out. i know this sounds superrrr out of touch and im really sorry but i feel as though i can’t talk to anyone in my circle about this since we’ve all grown up with this being the norm. please help 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
