Materialism is not a bad thing, after all it’s the reason why we have so many nice things. But I’m worried about depending on it. As of late, whenever I feel shitty, I’ll buy something to cheer myself up. I like electronics so the last time I felt bad I bought an Xbox One controller. Sure it’s no car but little things add up and you become dependent over time. I’m not a poorfag and can can spend within my means but I’m afraid of being addicted and going into debt.

Materialism is effective because it’s immediate and tangible. You see it, it’s right over there, you can enjoy it and it’s new and exciting. How do I not overdose on materialism to cheer myself up when I’m down?
