Welcome to Consumerism

avatar

So I just learned that people in November and December is spending on average 5.5K dkk more than any other regular month oO

Thats 739,66 Euros more pr month on average and this is only on average, some people who may be able to afford it can spend way more and ofcouse people who can't afford will properly just take a loan instead of not buying big gifts (or is it just me who thinks people are stupid?)

Either way. I want to be in the big bracket :p I may not want to spend that much on gifts, but I would love to have the ability to do so and maybe even give myself an investment gift haha ;)


I kinda just randomly wanted to talk a bit about consumerism. I am not a big fan of is, since a lot of shit just gets made to stupid people with or without money, so they can feel like their status increased.

I understand you want nice things, but not all "nice" things are made equal. I would rather have a nice expensive quality thing than a knock of version.
E.g, buying a Rolex would be way better in my head than some "cheap" knock off. Now I know that Rolex is in its own class and you can get a lot of quality watches for far less money without a doubt.

But I don't get it if you buy a knock of Rolex watch from WISH xD
Thats only so you can lie about your status xD


Not against money or people you buy shit they can afford, but many just buy shit because they think it will make the look cool. Just look at fast fashion, fk that shit :D

Aha yes :') I started to work again and made my first month with more income than expenses !
But I just don't want to waste all my little savings for gifts, I just bought little things at maximum 2€ per units :')
And now I know that if I have a problem I can still withdraw some crypto and relax ! :)

Aha yes, currently my Hive account is like 6 times bigger than my bank account :')

But that's because I have a loan to repay 250€ per month and wasn't earning money since months now so I was putting all my savings into that :') Now I finished a project which was taking me too much time !

So I just need to make one or two weeks of Hive unstaking to have some more time !

And if I succeed to find some editing work it should become better because I'm supposed to be paid around 150€ per day minimum ! !PIZZA

Any big interest on it??

I also have a loan, but thats a student loan and the interest is like 2%, so it fairly forgiven xD

Student loan too and I think it's a 0.9% interest so now I'm repay it for 2 years so I'm not paying too much interests each month !

Yeah but it seems I've been fucked because they were supposed to have a 0% interest for student loans. But I think because I took a little more than the price of the school they added those 0.9% :')

Yeah, $100 is pretty good, my 250€ are a little too much for me sometimes :') Fortunately I don't spend a lot of money So even when I don't earn a lot I'm able to pay it :')

Haha yeah I didn't think it would be something you do. I buy stuff on credit card but make sure I can pay it off before the next statement comes out, otherwise you're in the 💩!

Ah, I finished reading about it yesterday from a book called The Bitcoin Standard, highly recommend!

Merry Christmas man!

I don't know how American's credit card system works xD

I just have a Visa and the money is removed from the card at the same time I buy something, so its fairly updated all the time. Beside big purchases.

Hmm cool, I have a few books on my list I have to read, so I will look into it but maybe first in 6 months xD

Not against money or people you buy shit they can afford.

Fiat encourages spending.

Crypto encourages saving.

Hive encourages creating.
