MGTOW and Consumerism

[GrumpyParticipant]

I just try to keep everything to a minimum, and I wont buy sub standard anything anymore.
I actually go to a butcher to buy meats, not at any of the “big box stores”.
When I buy a pound of meat I want a pound of meat, not 6- 8 ounces of water and red food dye included.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

just makes me think of those pictures that go up here of bored husbands/boyfriends waiting around outside shops while their gfs spend ages looking at overpriced earrings or some s~~~

in terms of consumerism all of my money goes on gaming – crappy adverts that treat men like dickheads turn me off a product. And if I was looking for say a new TV, I would search reviews online and not buy it because some c~~~ celebrity endorses it for £millions on a 3 minute advert

Pretend a stranger came up to you and offered you the choice between the item or cash for the full amount of the item. If your choice is the item, then you legitimately want it. If you would take the cash, then your desire for the item is a whim, an impulse, and should not be acted on.

I’m gonna try that next time. Thanks.

As a general rule, I always think of it this way…..

Before I buy anything, I don’t ask myself how long it takes me to EARN that much ,
I think of how long it takes me to SAVE that much.

Let’s say you make $20 an hour, and a Starbucks “Mocha Gay Pumpkin Whip F~~~~~” is $5.
How long do you have to work to REALLY afford that?

I pick something up that I want….. I think that…. I put it back down.
Works every time.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.
