It’s disgusting — the bane of capitalism trickled down to the greedy shallow consumer. T-shirts with name brand logos. Store after store selling image after image. Total spending masturbation.
Now I realize that even if I had as much filthy money as I wanted, I don’t have it in me to be a disgusting and excessive spender.
Thanks to habit and circumstance, I’ve learned to buy only what I need. Even the iPad is doubtful despite my strong interest in having it.
I’d rather spend the money on education, enrichment and experience. And philanthropy.
Money spent on stuff is unfulfilling, disgusting and ugly.
