This idea that, unless you’re well-off, you should only buy the bare necessities is bullshit. Comfort is necessary for basic mental health. You’re not an idiot who can’t take care of their money because you dare to buy a PS5 and a big TV. You just want to squeeze a tiny bit of pleasure out of this miserable existence.
