  • I’m going to get some hate for this, but: nothing

    I live in a civilised country, where the cost of things isn’t crazy relative to income with the notable exception of housing

    I’m lucky enough to own my own home, and I did horrible hours of damned hard work to get where I am

    I buy seasonal food where I can (because of environmental reasons rather than just the price), I don’t buy junk food or takeaways apart from very rare occasions

    I don’t smoke and I buy beer from local brewers and enjoy a wine club that is within my means

    If I want something, I buy it, but I’m not frivolous with money

    My TV is too old to connect to the internet, I don’t have fancy clothes, the last console I bought was a PS2, I have no Netflix or any such subscriptions

    I see people struggling, but I also see a lot of money spent on what I consider to be bullshit

    And while I’m older, I’m not a boomer before anyone suggests otherwise
