Greed is like a mental illness, and only an ill society rewards it.

Over-consumption loop.

You work hard for money -> so you buy unnecessary stuff since you earned it -> you have no money -> you work hard for money...

I have quit this loop by limiting my consumption to minimum. My friends ask me why don't I buy X if I can easily afford it and it will make my life better. Well, not better enough to justify waste of both my money/time and Earth's resources to manufacture something.

I have already limited my consumption to a minimum. Now I just need to make more money.

[–] porcupine@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 11 months ago

the wise men all tell me I must be overconsuming housing and healthcare, which is why they cost so much. it's simple economics, I'm told.

[–] DocCrankenstein@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

While this is true, this is severely short sighted and misses the perspective of being impoverished and constantly being unable to make ends meet even after you have cut luxury from your life.

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Money always has to come from someone else.

[–] Mischala@lemmy.nz 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Difference being with honest work, people value your product and it actually does what you are promising.
Scams are not this.

Must be a pandemic! Me too! And everyone I know too!

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I feel this. It's kind of addicting to chase a bigger paycheck. I actually talk about it a lot in therapy and it's been helpful.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yeah, I guess making more money is helpful to finance a therapy. /j
