    I bought my car for 5k 12 years ago. As long as the wheels go round, I don’t need a new one. It’s so much wasted money on unnecessary consumption.

      This is such a big point, everyone bitching they can’t afford new stuff, my car is from 2001 and it’s the newest car I’ve ever owned. I keep it well maintained and working. My phone is from 2018, same thing don’t need a $1500 iPhone. We’re a huge consumption based society and we created it with our constant need for shiny new things.
