Managed to stop myself for the first time in months
I am big clothes collector (only 20M, always loved fashion but didn't have a job before), particularly clothes from high fashion brands
Most of the time I buy some stuff thinking i do it for "the love of the game", "expanding my collection" but I realized I have a problem lol.
Most of these vintage pieces are way more expensive than my means, and I'm not that well off.
So today I almost splurged into a 500 euro jacket (which is beautiful if you were wondering) but managed to stop myself and invested those 500 euros instead in a safe place.
Genuinely, it made me so much more happy. I got way more dopamine from knowing I did the right thing with that money than I would ever get from the jacket.
I hope I'll be able to have healthier habits in the future and manage to save up for one big piece that I really like once in a blue moon, instead of spending way more money on stuff that I don't even like that much.
