Agree. Made a real effort in recent years to question the crap what I really need, and what’s a want vrs a need.

I feel a lot happier not buy stuff upon stuff. I’m trying to buy as much used/second hand as possible.

I don’t understand many of the product hypes. Why would you pay more to endorse someone’s brand. The cups. Like $50 for a cup. That’s crazy, you still drink the same water out of it.
